1. Mention any other details that might be useful.

Thanks! We'll be in touch soon.

Try following the node-gyp installation instructions. It's a hassle but it looks like it's required until someone fixes the pre-built version of zopfli.

[doubleUTF]

Gotcha, so it's zopfli's problem not mine. I'll check it out, thanks bonnici!

[bonnici]

Looks like the zopfli version was bumped in the latest beta so the precompiled binaries for that version might be available during install.

Dupe, see #1560 (comment)
