* jpegoptim
* optipng
* WebP
Debian/Ubuntu :

sudo apt install jpegoptim optipng webp -y
```
Centos 7 :
```bash
sudo yum install optipng jpegoptim libwebp-tools -y
```

---
### Usage
1) Download the script and make it executable
```bash
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/VirtuBox/wp-optimize/master/optimize.sh
chmod +x optimize.sh
```
2) Launch the script and set the path of your images as first argument
```bash
./optimize.sh /path/to/your/images
```
To avoid permissions issues, you can run the script with another user with sudo
```bash
sudo -u www-data ./optimize.sh /path/to/your/images
```
### Warning
Conversion process can take a while, you can use `tmux` to launch the script and be able to close your ssh connection without interrupting conversion. Then just use `tmux attach` to login back in your tmux session.
