ERROR Original Error: ImageMagick/GraphicsMagick is not installed

Question

I have an app that is using Imagemagick, but I had to rebuild my environment and now when I try and upload an avatar (which is why I am using Imagemagick), it keeps giving me the following error when I try to add an image.

Avatar Failed to manipulate with MiniMagick, maybe it is not an image? Original Error: ImageMagick/GraphicsMagick is not installed

I installed it in the folder that holds my app, but it seems as though the app is not recognizing the install. Is there a way to make the app recognize the minimagick or did I install it in the wrong place or am I completely off.

-UPDATE-

I uninstalled minimgick and reinstalled, but still get the same error, although it shows that it is installed. Here are my versions...

-imagemagick-6.9.1-6

-ruby 2.2.1p85 (2015-02-26 revision 49769) [x86_64-darwin14]

-Rails 4.0.10

Answer 1

You need to install libmagickwand-dev in order to successfully complete the rmagick gem. Following command will do the job for you:

sudo apt-get install libmagickwand-dev

On a Mac, you would run the following command:

brew install imagemagick # it requires you to install Homebrew first.

This is in the folder that contains my app right not the app itself? – Telestich

You can run this command from any where in your terminal. Caution: It works on Ubuntu. – Kerk

On Mac, you can do brew install imagemagick, but that itself requires you to install Homebrew first. – Kerk

I am on a Mac and when I tried brew install imagemagick I got this... Warning: imagemagick-6.9.1-6 already installed – Telestich

@Telestich Then, you need to uninstall it, and re-install it. – Kerk

So is this the same thing do I run brew install within my app folder or doesnt matter? – Telestich

Nope, you can do it anywhere. Any thing that starts with sudo or brew, that isn't directory dependent. – Kerk

I got it I had to install in on the virtual machine with Ubuntu. Thanks – Telestich

So I had the same issue, I ran above command and was able to add one image, the second time I am trying to add image, I get the same issue. any idea – Alden

For me, on Ubuntu 14.04, I needed this answer and @Arslan's answer. – Wristwatch

Worked for me on Ubuntu 16.04(I ran into this issue trying to deploy a rails web application that utilised imagemagick for image resizing) – Hoffmann

I also needed both answers. – Cockloft

This comment was what i needed, also the accepted one above is part of the solution – Blowup

I had the same issue and solved it with:

sudo apt-get install imagemagick --fix-missing

Answer 5

Just an update on my experience. I recently had the same issue with the latest version of ImageMagick 7.0.8-7. I fixed the problem by just downgrading to 6.9.... This solved the issue for some reason.

I've found the binaries here imagemagick.org/archive/binaries – Colman

Answer 6

You just need to update your system libraries. try this:-

sudo apt-get -f install

and then you would be able to upload it.

Answer 7

For who's on Cloud9 encountering the error:

MiniMagick::Invalid (You must have ImageMagick or GraphicsMagick installed)

this solved for me:

sudo yum install ImageMagick
