All of a sudden started getting "Could Not Run The `Identify` Command. Please Install ImageMagick."

Question

I've had ImageMagick, RMagick, & PaperClip working properly with everything setup including the config Paperclip.options[:command_path] in production.rb file.

All of a sudden I've started getting the following error:

Could Not Run The `Identify` Command. Please Install ImageMagick.

I've tried everything. I've reinstalled ImageMagick, etc. but no avail.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

From a terminal, run the following command:

sudo apt-get install imagemagick

Answer 2

You need to change the files production.rb and development.rb which are in:

config/environments:

# Paperclip config:
Paperclip.options[:image_magick_path] = "/opt/ImageMagick/bin"
Paperclip.options[:command_path] = "/opt/ImageMagick/bin"

Just add those two lines just before the last line and restart the server.

In MacOSX system, if you are using another location, just put the right PATH there.

Answer 3

For Mac users: just run the command brew install imagemagick.
