Installing ImageMagick on OS X

The quickest way to get ImageMagick running on OS X for Greenstone.

  1. Download Image magick [http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/#imagemagick]
  2. open .dmg
  3. install package
  4. open term
  5. type sudo bash
  6. edit /etc/profile to include /usr/local/bin in the path (you will have to use and editor in term - try vi or emacs) so it looks something like this PATH="/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin"
  7. save and exit
  8. Restart the GLI in a new term window.

No more 'imagemagick not installed' complaints!

Happy image collection building.

PS your /etc/profile should have these two lines:

PATH="/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin"

export PATH
