[magick-users] Mac binary of imagemagic was a Word for Mac????

[Nathanial Ziarek]

Welcome to the Dark side, Ken.

Are you looking for "convert" and "identify" from the terminal?

I find it easiest to install any command line tools with either  
Darwin Ports (http://darwinports.opendarwin.org/) or Fink (http:// 
fink.sourceforge.net/). I don't know what package system fedora core  
uses, but DP and Fink pretty much mimic that functionality (I think,  
I'm not a Linux guy).

Fink has more packages available, but I find that DP works a little  
faster (and better in some cases).

then just "sudo port install ImageMagick" (or im, I forget) and you  
are good to go.

As for removing Word (which is odd to have, by the way) just toss it  
in the trash. There may be a little residue in ~/Documents and ~/ 
Library (preference files) but trashing the Application is all you  
typically need to do on a Mac.

Good luck!

Nate
