Installing rmagick on Ubuntu

Question

I\'m trying to get RMagick setup on Ubuntu 10.04. Looked here but had no joy. I even compiled and installed ImageMagick from source, but the instructions here still didn\'t

Answer 1

If you are using Linux then simply run these commands.

 sudo apt-get install imagemagick libmagickwand-dev

and then

 bundle install

Hope this will resolve your issue.

And if you are using mac then simply run following commands

First of all unlink your installed imagemagick which was not properly installed in latest mac high sierra by using.

 brew unlink imagemagick

then install latest imagemagic6 using below command

 brew install imagemagick@6 && brew link imagemagick@6 --force

Then install gem rmagick using below command

 gem install rmagick 

 bundle install

It will work perfectly fine.

Answer 2

You don't need a lot of the other junk in these answers, just:

sudo apt-get install libmagickwand-dev

Answer 3

If you want to try installing the native deb package instead of the gem, be aware that the librmagick-ruby was broken on Ubuntu 10.04 until just very recently:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/librmagick-ruby/+bug/518122

See comment #17 in particular. I believe this has already been fixed so now apt-get install librmagick-ruby might "just work". Otherwise here's how to build it yourself from source

$ cd /usr/src
$ sudo apt-get build-dep librmagick-ruby
$ sudo apt-get source librmagick-ruby
$ cd librmagick-ruby-2.11.1
$ sudo dch -i
(add changelog entry)
$ sudo dpkg-buildpackage
$ cd ..
$ sudo dpkg -i librmagick-ruby*.deb
