CLI tools in the Windows binary download?

Post by mwsnit »

Today I have downloaded from the Windows section of the download page ImageMagick-7.0.3-10-Q16-x64-static.exe and ImageMagick-7.0.3-10-Q8-x64-static.exe. Both installed, but the directories of the installed ImageMagick do not include command-line tools like convert, compare, conjure etc. Up to version 6.9.6 they were included. Did I download a wrong package? And if: which Windows binaries package includes the CLI tools?
Thanks.

Almost everything in IM7 will be done with the command "magick", which is essentially the "convert" command. To use the other commands, "montage", "mogrify", etc., you just add them immediately after "magick" at the beginning of the command, like "magick mogrify ..." and so on.

Thanks, interesting as the HTML pages included in the IM7 package still talk about using convert etc as standalone tools - also this page http://imagemagick.org/script/command-line-tools.php
