How can I install GraphicsMagick or ImageMagick on AWS Lambda?

Question

I am using the gm package for Node.js along with the default ImageMagick installation that is available on AWS Lambda.

const gm = require(\'gm\'

If you install Docker on your local device and add this command into your package.json.

"dockerbuild": "rm -rf node_modules/gm && docker run -v \"$PWD\":/var/task lambci/lambda:build-nodejs8.10 npm install"

Run npm run dockerbuild before you deploy your app.

You should change the node version based on the version of your lambda environment.
