I need ImageMagick with my RoR app, because I use rmagick and carrierwave gems for editing images. How can I install it on Open Shift?

EDIT:

If you access to the ssh you can see the machine comes already with ImageMagick:

[blog-fdiazgarrido.rhcloud.com ~]\> convert --version
Version: ImageMagick 6.5.4-7 2010-02-26 Q16 OpenMP http://www.imagemagick.org
Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2009 ImageMagick Studio LLC

So the only thing you have to do is include it in your Gemfile, and it will be picked up like all the other gems

You have to use first the library with:

up2date install ImageMagick

or 

yum install ImageMagick

if you are using yum

And finally install the gem like

sudo gem install rmagick

Or including it on your Gemfile and running bundle

  • Thank you, but how can I install it on OpenShift (cloud paas). "yum" is uknown command when I connect with ssh to server. Any suggestions? – quatermain May 03 '12 at 13:11
  • Ok if you access through ssh you can see that ImageMagick is installed, so you only have to include rmagick in your Gemfile, no need to install ImageMagick. editing my answer – Fernando Diaz Garrido May 03 '12 at 13:49
  • I have in my Gemfile "rmagick", "carrierwave". After push I have this error: Can't install RMagick 2.13.1. Can't find Magick-config in /usr/libexec/stickshift/cartridges/ruby-1.8/info/bin/:/usr/libexec/stickshift/cartridges/abstract-httpd/info/bin/:/usr/libexec/stickshift/cartridges/abstract/info/bin/:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin – quatermain May 03 '12 at 14:12
  • Could you try with this? gem "rmagick", :require => 'RMagick' – Fernando Diaz Garrido May 03 '12 at 14:36
  • I cant creat any files with ssh connect, it's ok? It's same problem with :require => 'RMagick' – quatermain May 03 '12 at 14:54
  • Well the problem is that rmagick not only requires Imagemagick installed but also the headers, this headers are not installed. To install them you have to install the package ImageMagick-devel and I dont think this is possible in OpenShift – Fernando Diaz Garrido May 03 '12 at 15:06
  • Thank you. Maybe Red Hat help me..... https://openshift.redhat.com/community/kb/kb-e1017-adding-dependencies-to-applications – quatermain May 03 '12 at 17:09
  • Yeap I think thats your best shoot, you might wanna change the comment though, ImageMagick is installed, what you need is the devel package, needed to install he rmagick gem. Also you might wanna put it in the forum: https://openshift.redhat.com/community/forums/openshift – Fernando Diaz Garrido May 03 '12 at 18:10
