[solved] MacOS homebrew not installing version 7.x … stuck on v6 :(

[mhulse]

Hello,

I have ImageMagick installed via homebrew on MacOS:

Code: Select all

$ convert --version
Version: ImageMagick 6.9.5-10 Q16 x86_64 2016-09-21 http://www.imagemagick.org
Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2016 ImageMagick Studio LLC
License: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/license.php
Features: Cipher DPC Modules
Delegates (built-in): bzlib freetype jng jpeg ltdl lzma png tiff xml zlib

How do I upgrade to v7.x?

Homebrew doesn't seem to know about anything other than v6.x:

Code: Select all

$ brew install imagemagick
==> Downloading https://homebrew.bintray.com/bottles/imagemagick-6.9.5-10.sierra.bottle.tar.gz
######################################################################## 100.0%
==> Pouring imagemagick-6.9.5-10.sierra.bottle.tar.gz
/usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick/6.9.5-10: 1,464 files, 22.5M

Is there any way to install v7.x using homebrew?

Probably not via Homebrew or MacPorts, etc, until they support IM 7. You can install the IM binary if you are using the latest Mac OSX. See http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binar ... php#macosx.

I install all my delegates using MacPorts and install IM manually. See viewtopic.php?f=1&t=21502&p=88202&hilit ... rts#p88202
