Many web designers and front-end developers use MAMP<\/a> due to its ease of use. However, MAMP unfortunately doesn\u2019t come pre-installed with the very popular and wide spread image manipulation library ImageMagick<\/a>. My fellow internet super talent Mario Lon\u010dari\u0107<\/a> recently clarified the steps for installing the ImageMagick library to your Mac installed with MAMP.<\/p>\n

This article is probably not one for the Terminal savvy programmers, but rather for the rest of us using drag and drop web server packages such as MAMP.<\/p>\n

Prior to getting started, I\u2019m assuming you already have MAMP installed on your local computer, most likely in \/Applications\/MAMP<\/code>. If not, install it before you move on to the next step.<\/p>\n

First<\/strong>, download ImageMagick for Mac OS X<\/a> and unarchive it to \/Applications\/MAMP\/bin\/ImageMagick<\/code>.<\/p>\n

Next<\/strong>, open up Terminal.app (don\u2019t be afraid, it won\u2019t bite you), and enter line by line:<\/p>\n

$yourmacname> export MAGICK_HOME=\"\/Applications\/MAMP\/bin\/ImageMagick\/ImageMagick-6.6.1\"\r\n$yourmacname> export PATH=\"$MAGICK_HOME\/bin:$PATH\"\r\n$yourmacname> export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=\"$MAGICK_HOME\/lib\"<\/code><\/pre>\n
Test<\/strong> if everything works up to this point:<\/p>\n
$yourmacname> cd \/Applications\/MAMP\/bin\/ImageMagick\/ImageMagick-6.6.1\r\n$yourmacname> convert logo: logo.gif\r\n$yourmacname> identify logo.gif\r\n$yourmacname> display logo.gif<\/code><\/pre>\n
Last<\/strong>: browse to \/Applications\/MAMP\/Library\/bin<\/code> and open envvars<\/code> file with your text editor. Change the two uncommented lines, i.e. DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=\"...<\/code> and export...<\/code> to:<\/p>\n
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=\"\/Applications\/MAMP\/bin\/ImageMagick\/ImageMagick-6.6.1\/lib:\/Applications\/MAMP\/Library\/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH\"\r\nexport DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH<\/code><\/pre>\n
If you are using ImageMagick in your server-side application, be sure to set the correct path. For instance in PHP:<\/p>\n
define('MAGICK_PATH', '\/Applications\/MAMP\/bin\/ImageMagick\/ImageMagick-6.6.1\/bin\/convert');<\/code><\/pre>\n
Restart Apache in MAMP and you\u2019re done.<\/p>\n
Addenum<\/h3>\n
Some users have reported that the correct DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH<\/code> for their particular setup was:<\/p>\n
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=\"\/Applications\/MAMP\/bin\/ImageMagick\/ImageMagick-6.6.1\/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH\"\r\nexport DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH<\/code><\/pre>\n
Update for Mac OS X Yosemite users<\/h3>\n
If you had problems with starting Apache after updating to Yosemite, one of the proposed fixes was to rename envvars<\/code> file to _envvars<\/code> or to comment out lines containing DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH<\/code>. That works if you don\u2019t need to use ImageMagick, but DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH<\/code> is required for it to function properly.<\/p>\n
The solution is to rename DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH<\/code> to DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH<\/code> in the envvars<\/code> file.<\/p>\n
DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH =\"\/Applications\/MAMP\/bin\/ImageMagick\/ImageMagick-6.6.1\/lib:$DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH\"\r\nexport DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
