The problem
Recently I had some problems with ImageMagick on Mac.
I already had installed it but for some reason I had not linked it.
- If have not installed it, run
brew install imagemagick - Run
brew doctorto get all the problems of your brew packages. I got:
Get working ImageMagick on Mac with brew
Ok, let’s link it.
Just run brew link imagemagick
Error: Could not symlink share/doc/ImageMagick-6 /usr/local/share/doc is not writable.
Wow, another problem!
Ok, make it writable running sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local/share
Now, run again brew link imagemagick
You should see the next succesful message 🙂
