ImageMagick with Homebrew

Question

I am installing ImageMagick with Homebrew by doing brew install imagemagick --with-x11.

Many of the commands like convert, display, montage work fine but animate does not work.

$ animate
-bash: /opt/ImageMagick/bin/animate: No such file or directory

I've tried using the --HEAD flag and also uninstalling using brew and reinstalling but the same error still persist.

`homebrew` installs binaries (programs) in `/usr/local/bin`, so anything you are running from `/opt` almost certainly has nothing to do with `homebrew`. Try `/usr/local/bin/animate` instead. Also, I assume you have installed XQuartz if you plan to use X11. — Mark Setchell, May 24 '15 at 04:17

You should have a look at the ${FORMULA} used by your homebrew-ed installation:

brew edit imagemagick

This will open a file in a text editor listing all settings and commands used to build your homebrew-ed ImageMagick.

Do you discover anything in there that may disable the building of animate?

Also to check:

Did you run brew update?
Did you run brew doctor? Did you follow all recommendations the brew-doctor told you?
What version of homebrew do you use (brew --version)?
What is the output of brew --env and brew --config?
Did you install into a non-recommended directory? Looks like, looking at your attempt to run /opt/ImageMagick/bin/animate...

Did you try ls -l /opt/local/ImageMagick*/bin/ | grep animate ?
