To install python IMagick binding wand api on windows 64 bit (python 2.6)

This is what I did:

1. downloaded and installed ImageMagick-6.5.8-7-Q16-windows-dll.exe

2. downloaded wand module from http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Wand

3. after that i ran python setup.py install from wand directory,

4. then i executed step6. but i got the import error: magickband librarry not found

5. downloaded magickwand' module and executed 'python setup.py install' from magickwand directory.

6. then agian i tried this code

   from wand.image import Image
   from wand.display import display
   
   with Image(filename='mona-lisa.png') as img:
       print img.size
       for r in 1, 2, 3:
           with img.clone() as i:
               i.resize(int(i.width * r * 0.25), int(i.height * r * 0.25))
               i.rotate(90 * r)
               i.save(filename='mona-lisa-{0}.png'.format(r))

Answer 1

You have to set MAGICK_HOME environment variable first. See the last part of this section.

Lastly you have to set MAGICK_HOME environment variable to the path of ImageMagick (e.g. C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.7.7-Q16). You can set it in Computer ‣ Properties ‣ Advanced system settings ‣ Advanced ‣ Environment Variables....
