I had a non-rvm app going and decided to move to RVM. Now I'm noticing paperclip failing as ImageMagick isn't available. <pre class="prettyprint"><code>[paperclip] An error was received while processing: #<Paperclip::CommandNotFoundError: Could not run the `identify` command. Please install ImageMagick.> </code></pre> What's the right way to get ImageMagick installed on RVM?

On OS X if you have brew installed, you can simply use the following command: <pre class="prettyprint"><code>brew install imagemagick </code></pre>

ImageMagick isn't a gem, it's a normal packet. On debian, the package name is <code>imagemagick</code>. You can install it via <code>apt-get install imagemagick</code> as root.
