Paperclip/ImageMagick/RMagick error: “is not recognized by the ‘identify’ command”

December 30th, 2009

If you’re using the above combination, and you’re getting the above error, make sure that you’ve configured Paperclip to find ImageMagick in the right place.  Create an initializer file, RAILS_ROOT/config/intializers/paperclip.rb, and put “Paperclip.options[:image_magick_path] = ‘path/to/image_magic’” inside of it.  On Mac or a *nix system, type “which identify” to find the right folder.

Big thanks to avit on this forum for the solution.
