imagemagick with nodejs not working

I am trying to resize an image with node-imagemagick library, but it is not working.

the code i am using to resize is 

im.resize({
      srcPath: __dirname+'originalimage.jpg',
      dstPath: __dirname+'resized.jpg',
      width: 50
    }, function(err, stdout, stderr){
      if (err) throw err;

    });

It throws the error

Error: Command failed: Invalid Parameter - -set

    at ChildProcess.<anonymous> (E:\NodeJsDevelopment\node_modules\imagemagick\imagemagick.js:64:15)
    at ChildProcess.EventEmitter.emit (events.js:91:17)
    at Process._handle.onexit (child_process.js:674:10)

It is just that you haven't installed ImageMagick in your system. If you are using a Linux distribution you can do:

sudo apt-get install imagemagick

On windows you also need to install the imagemagick exe. The nodejs imagemagick library is just a wrapper for imagemagick exe. So it will not work untill the imagemagick exe is intalled and convert and identify executable are in path.
