Fix permission of the magick binary

[raniaamina]

what kind of permission?
both convert and magick are executable ready

I noticed there are at least two places where you include the path for imagemagick:

• .env file in the project home folder
• virtualenv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/moviepy/config_defaults.py

On Mac, I initially installed imagemagick through homebrew. That didn't work so I installed it manually using the instructions from imagemagick website.

That also doesn't seem to work for now.

Have you put the binary path correctly in the .env ?
You don't have to touch the ...site-packages/moviepy/config_defaults.py at all.

To get the binary path :
1.

brew info imagemagick

2. Open the folder : /opt/homebrew/Cellar/imagemagick/7.1.1-27
3. Go to /bin/
4. and locate the magick binary

and use the full path :

IMAGEMAGICK_BINARY="/opt/homebrew/Cellar/imagemagick/7.1.1-27/bin/magick"

That's all I had to do on my Mac and it works

Cheers, mate, it worked. I had messed it up.

[bbrooks870]

anyone knows how to make it work on Linux system (ubuntu)

It should be located somewhere in /usr/bin/convert or something similar to that.
Run whereis convert to find out where, must have installed ImageMagick beforehand:

sudo apt install imagemagick
whereis convert

i have already did

still getting below error

It seems that imagemagick has a file with permissions on its own. I found it while searching for my issue. Check that here:

Use: #100

Hi ALL ,

This fixed the problem of Policy

sed -i '/<policy domain="path" rights="none" pattern="@\*"/d' /etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml

[raniaamina]

after i checked, the line already commented, so it should has no effect
