Mac Terminal - Create animated gif from png files

Tags:

I have a bunch of png files named as 1.png, 2.png, etc. and I want to create an animated gif image from them all. I haven't been successful in finding a solution for a terminal command that will convert these png files into a single animated gif.

Can someone post some commands that I can try? I have tried "convert" commands but my terminal always says convert is not found even though I have installed ImageMagik.
