Could you take a look at the log file it points you to use post the relevant parts? — erik258, Feb 15 '18 at 23:52
Perhaps Rmagick is expecting ImageMagick 6 rather than Imagemagick 7. The syntax for IM 7 is magick rather than convert. So perhaps Rmagick is trying to look for convert and only finds magick — fmw42, Feb 16 '18 at 03:34

The log file states the error: Can't find Magick-config in [PATH].

So find the Magick-config file on your filesystem and put it in your path, e.g. by running

locate Magick-config

For me that returns:

/usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick@6/6.9.9-34/bin/Magick-config

If you cannot find the Magick-config file anywhere, then find out why you don't have one.

Even when you get past that error, you will still be unable to get rmagick to work since ImageMagick 7 is not yet supported. Related Github issues:

Also here's another StackOverflow Answer that explains how to get it to work: ImageMagick 7 with RMagick 2.16 on MacOS Sierra Can't find MagickWand.h
