Rails Error: ImageMagick/GraphicsMagick is not installed

Question

I get this error when i ran my rails app on my OSX and i tried to upload an image.

I have a "product" model and i am using Mini_Magick with CarrierWave for uploading the product's image. When i create a product on my ubuntu's laptop, it works fine, but when i do that on my macbook, it throws the error:

Image Failed to manipulate with MiniMagick, maybe it is not an image? Original Error:

ImageMagick/GraphicsMagick is not installed

I have done the "bundle install" command and everything works fine... do you know what could be the problem?

I am thinking that you may now have some of the foundations on your OSX. You can try removing everything and start again:

to uninstall

brew uninstall imagemagick graphicsmagick libpng jpeg
brew cleanup -s

To install

brew install graphicsmagick

Hope that this works for you

in which directory should i run this commands? Because it returns me this error: "Error: No such keg: /usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick" – ascherman Mar 31 '15 at 20:24
How about on windows ? – codigomonstruo Apr 22 '15 at 23:23
@MoussaSarr you may want to check http://www.graphicsmagick.org/INSTALL-windows.html – MZaragoza Apr 23 '15 at 00:00
It should be capitalized i.e. `GraphicsMagick` – Adem Dinarević May 02 '20 at 00:47
I will check my sources, and then update the post. Thanks – MZaragoza May 02 '20 at 00:50
