Check to see if Image Magic is installed

[michael1t]

Hello All,

I was looking for some help for windows xp ... I need a way to issue a command line function to test to see if image magic is installed and what version it is ...

Something simple that writes the results to a text file ... installed or not installed

thanks in advance

I am not a windows user, but this works for me on a Unix (Mac) command line environment:

identify -version > im_version.txt


or

str=`identify -version`
[ "$str" != "" ] && echo "installed" > version.txt || echo "not installed" > version.txt

thanks that worked great

P.S.

This makes it all one command:

[ "$(identify -version)" != "" ] && echo "installed" > version.txt || echo "not installed" > version.txt
