Use graphicsmagick as node module instead of command

Use gm as node module dependency and not command line local install, This will let users use imagemagick instead for convert.

• Side question, whats the idea behind the .png convert? why isnt ffmpeg being used to convert from movie to gif all together?

Command failed on Windows

I've got "Command failed" error when running this on Windows.
Looks like the reason that you try to create temp images in /tmp/[uid]/ folder.
But on windows "tmp" refers to C:\Users\name\AppData\Local\Temp
Tried to remove tmp from environment variables user/system, but it doesn't help.
Is it possible to add functionality to to pass tmp folder in config?
10x in advance!

After some review looks like this happens only in git bash on windows.
But in cmd the problem is that file path surrounded by single quotes and this not working in cmd

PS: I had a couple of problems installing FFmpeg on my Ubuntu 14.04.

• First, FFmpeg is removed from Ubuntu 14.04 (legal issues AFAIK). But I managed to apt-get it through this.
• Second, when I tried to ./configure (as mentioned in its README.md), I got this error - yasm/nasm not found or too old. Use --disable-yasm for a crippled build.. So I used ./configure --disable-yasm instead, and it (somehow) worked.

Update

After read this log a couple of times, I managed to produce a sample GIF from my mp4 file, by changing the command, which example.js tries to run:

From

ffmpeg -i out.mp4 -filter:v scale=-1:300 -r 10 /tmp/Lz43nx6wv1/%04d.png

To

ffmpeg -i out.mp4 -filter:v scale=-1:300 -r 10 out.gif

But it's still using command line, I need to do this by code.

So I dived into the code and found that this wrong url is coming from this line in index.js

...

// tmpfile(s)
  var id = uid(10);
  var dir = path.resolve('/tmp/' + id);
  var tmp  = path.join(dir, '/%04d.png');

...

Is this an issue with the plugin, or am I doing something wrong here?
In any case, please put the correct stub here, because I don't want to touch this part unless I know what I'm doing?

Thanks in advance :)

Error: Command failed: /bin/sh: gm: command not found

I'm getting an error when I try to run gify file.mov f.gif. I think it's probably an issue with my installation process, and not anything wrong with gify.

  if (err) { throw err; }

I've installed ffmpeg and GraphicsMagick from the websites and it seemed to work okay.

Would love your advice on how to fix this :)
Thanks!
