## :clipboard: Summary
While other image optimization tools are available from the command line, ImageOptim-CLI exists
because the [current benchmarks](http://jamiemason.github.io/ImageOptim-CLI/) suggest that
ImageOptim, ImageAlpha and JPEGmini currently outperform those alternatives over lossless and
lossy optimizations.
ImageOptim, ImageAlpha and JPEGmini currently outperform those alternatives over lossless and lossy
optimizations.
ImageOptim-CLI is written in TypeScript and AppleScript but is distributed as a self-contained
executable binary, you don't need Node.js installed to use ImageOptim-CLI.
Check out this short [video demo of ImageOptim-CLI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGBounRIzSs) to
see how it works.

[npm](https://npmjs.org/) is the recommended way to install ImageOptim-CLI as it is the most
convenient.

## Installation
ImageOptim-CLI is written in Shell and AppleScript, you don't _need_ Node.js to run it.
[npm](https://npmjs.org/) is suggested because it makes installation very convenient.
```shell
```
npm install -g imageoptim-cli
```
### Manual Installation
Otherwise, you can install manually by downloading the latest zip then adding ImageOptim-CLI to your
[$PATH](<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PATH_(variable)>).

### JPEGmini and support for assistive devices
## :memo: Usage and Examples
You may be presented with the following message the first time you run ImageOptim-CLI with the `--jpeg-mini` flag.
```
$ imageoptim --help
> To automate JPEGmini we need to add Terminal.app (or iTerm.app etc) to the 'support for assistive devices' whitelist.
Usage: imageoptim [options] [patterns...]
The JPEGmini OS X Apps don't include a command line API, so a real user is
simulated by entering synthetic clicks and keyboard commands instead. This
requires your permission and is easily set up in System Preferences as shown by
these guides.
Options:
+ [Enable access for assistive devices in OS X](http://mizage.com/help/accessibility.html)
+ [OS X Mavericks: Enable access for assistive devices and applications](http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT6026)
-V, --version output the version number
-a, --imagealpha enable ImageAlpha
-j, --jpegmini enable JPEGmini
-C, --no-color output to the terminal without colors
-I, --no-imageoptim disable ImageOptim
-Q, --no-quit do not quit apps once finished
-S, --no-stats do not display file size savings and quality loss information
--number-of-colors <n> ImageAlpha palette size, defaults to 256
--quality <min>-<max> ImageAlpha quality range from 0-100, defaults to 65-80
--speed <n> ImageAlpha speed from 1 (brute-force) to 10 (fastest), defaults to 1
-h, --help output usage information
Supported Apps:

## :warning: JPEGmini and support for assistive devices
You may be presented with the following message the first time you run ImageOptim-CLI with the
`--jpegmini` flag.
## Examples
### Optimise a directory of images
> To automate JPEGmini we need to add Terminal.app (or iTerm.app etc) to the 'support for assistive
> devices' whitelist.
This command will optimise all image files in your Awesome project.
The JPEGmini OS X Apps don't include a command line API, so a real user is simulated by entering
synthetic clicks and keyboard commands instead. This requires your permission and is easily set up
in System Preferences as shown by these guides.
imageOptim --directory ~/Sites/Awesome # [options]
* [Enable access for assistive devices in OS X](http://mizage.com/help/accessibility.html)
* [OS X Mavericks: Enable access for assistive devices and applications](http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT6026)
### Optimise a filtered set of images
## :bulb: Related Projects
This command will optimise just the .jpg files in your Awesome project.
find ~/Sites/Awesome -name '*.jpg' | imageOptim # [options]
### Passing additional options
The long format for enabling options is as follows;
imageOptim --jpeg-mini --image-alpha --quit --no-color --directory path/to/images
The equivalent of the above in short format is as follows;

#### Why are shorthand options supplied in the format `imageoptim -a -j -q` instead of the more common `imageoptim -ajq`?
This was an early mistake which now needs supporting for backwards compatibility.
[Issue 21](https://github.com/JamieMason/ImageOptim-CLI/issues/21) is open to add support for
the `-ajq` format as well as the current format.
#### The WebP image format looks promising, can you get ImageOptim-CLI to convert images to it?

JPEGmini does this today, but for ImageOptim and ImageAlpha I feel a feature like this belongs
in those applications rather than this automator.

It's also possible that if you look in the [Activity Monitor](http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5890)
you will not see `pngquant` displayed but it _is_ being run. In my experience it's only when you

Activity Monitor's **Update Frequency** is set to **Very Often (1 sec)**.
#### Can I configure ImageAlpha's settings using ImageOptim-CLI?
ImageOptim-CLI is intended to be a simple, convenient, powerful, general-purpose image optimisation
tool. If your needs have outgrown ImageOptim-CLI it's better to
run [pngquant](http://pngquant.org) separately, passing whatever custom settings you need.

Not currently, the full version of JPEGmini already has some subtle differences and JPEGmini Lite
causes further fragmentation. It is possible but not a priority, as the free version has a limit of

Performing the in-app upgrade leaves the app named as jpegmini-lite, so ImageOptim-CLI can't
