Hello,

I’m having really hard times to install, using a .env file a lib that could allow editing / replacing /improving on a binary the metatags.

So far I’ve thested these solutions :slight_smile:

  • ExifReader
  • meta-png
  • piexifjs
  • png-chunks-extract/encode
  • exiftool-vendored
  • pngjs
  • sharp
  • image-metadata
  • exif-reader
  • exifr
  • metadata.js

Not a sinle one is installing…Usually it takes 2/3 tries to find something working, but for this, even for a 4Kb lib, it does not install…
Anyone succeeded on such thing ?

I just don’t know what I4m missing here…
Thanks for (any) help !

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

  • n8n version:
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
  • Operating system:

Hey @NiKoolass

Can you share more information? How are you installing and trying to use the packages?

If you are using docker you can’t install them with an env file and you would need to create a custom docker image including the package then update the env file to tell the code node that it can use the package.
