No such file or directory - identify with Mini Magick

Question

my rails app was running smoothly before I had another person re-do my front-end UI. I've been trying to resolve this error for 3 days now. Here is the error:

No such file or directory - identify

    @post = Post.find(params[:id])
    authorize @post
    if @post.update_attributes(post_params)
      flash[:notice] = "Post was updated."
      redirect_to [@topic, @post]
    else

I've tried updated Mini Magick and downgrading it to 3.50 as proposed by the other posts on Stack Overflow, but I am still running into this issue.

Anyone know what the issue might be? I am kinda lost here...

Answer 1

You need to install ImageMagick. Try running:

which identify

If nothing comes back you probably don't have ImageMagick installed.
