Installing gifski in Colab fails-CodePudding

I'm trying to install gifski on Google Colab:

install.packages("gifski")
library(gifski)

but the following error arises:

Installing package into ‘/usr/local/lib/R/site-library’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)

Warning message in install.packages("gifski"):
“installation of package ‘gifski’ had non-zero exit status”
Error in library(gifski): there is no package called ‘gifski’
Traceback:

1. library(gifski)

So, is it possible to install and use gifski on Colab?

Thanks!

Packages You first need to install the required packages

!apt install ffmpeg
!apt install pngquant

Rust

You then need to install rust on Colab:

!apt install rustc

Gifski

Now we can install gifski, it requires some time (4 min)

!cargo install gifski

Set env path

import sys
sys.path.insert(1, '/root/.cargo/bin')

%set_env PATH=/root/.cargo/bin

check gifski version

!gifski -V
