running locally: upload image leads to MongooseError.ValidationError + exiftool errors

Alaa on Vizor Public Slack posted these errors:

ValidationError: Image validation failed at MongooseError.ValidationError

CastError: Cast to Object failed for value “Fatal Error: Unable to load exiftool. Error: spawn exiftool ENOENT” at path “original” at MongooseError.CastError

Mac OS X:

sudo brew update
sudo brew install exiftool

Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libimage-exiftool-perl

Install the appropriate package to get rid of exiftool errors

A minor addition: omit the sudo- you won't need it on OS X, but in the long run, it tends to run you into trouble because at some point in time you'll have to sudo everything. Just run:

brew update
brew install exiftool
