I am trying to install ImageMagick on Windows. What I did is install Windows RailsInstaller created my version and now I need to use ImageMagick but for some reason it doesn't work.
I took the binary source code and install and run it from this page but didn't seem to do the trick Link
I also try the following http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEWAVlNCKhg but it doesn't work
For the first example In cmd all I have to do is the following command to my understand to make it work here what I get
C:\Sites\case>convert wizard: wizard.jpg
Invalid Parameter - wizard.jpg
C:\Sites\case>convert wizard.jpg
Invalid drive specification.
C:\Sites\case>convert logo: logo.gif
Invalid Parameter - logo.gif
C:\Sites\case>$ convert logo: logo.gif
'$' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
C:\Sites\case>
Then i saw this. From the https://github.com/rmagick/rmagick which state it include rmagick but then i run bundle and get this
Installing rmagick (2.13.2)

Thank for any help.
Here yo go, to install ImageMagick and build the RMagick gem and make it all work.
Follow below steps:
In the command line type convert -version to check if everything works. It should print something like:
Version: ImageMagick 6.6.1-10 2010-05-15 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2010 ImageMagick Studio LLC Features: OpenMP
Install the DevKit if you haven't already.
gem install rmagick --platform=ruby -- --with-opt-lib=c:/ruby192/ImageMagick/lib --with-opt-include=c:/ruby192/ImageMagick/include
(Making sure the paths point to wherever you installed imagemagick)
It should print
Temporarily enhancing PATH to include DevKit...
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
And after a few minutes if everything goes right, you should see
Successfully installed rmagick-2.13.1
1 gem installed
Installing ri documentation for rmagick-2.13.1...
Installing RDoc documentation for rmagick-2.13.1...
And that's it. Just two more links that were helpful: 1 blog and 2 blog if you still can't install
