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

Install the packages imagemagick and libmagickwand-dev (or libmagick9-dev). You should then be able to install the Rmagick Gem.

sudo apt-get install imagemagick libmagickwand-dev

If not, you are missing ruby related development packages like build-essential and ruby1.8-dev. If that's the case, a generic "ubuntu install ruby 1.8" query in google should sort you out.

Answer 2

In ubuntu 16.04.3:

This i worked:

sudo apt install imagemagick imagemagick-6.q16

It means this installed imagemagick then you can run RMagick.

Answer 3

In Ubuntu 13.10

This code worked for me

sudo apt-get install graphicsmagick-libmagick-dev-compat libmagickwand-dev

gem install rmagick
