I followed all the instructions on the install page, but when I get to "sudo make install" I get this error:

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ERROR: Can't create '/usr/local/man/man1'
mkdir /usr/local/man: File exists at /usr/share/perl/5.26/ExtUtils/Install.pm line 477.

Makefile:1508: recipe for target 'pure_site_install' failed

It appears to manifying a bunch of pod documents before it gets to this point.

No worries.  You don't need to install ExifTool to use it.  Just move exiftool and its lib directory to wherever you want and run it from there.

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).
