How to add the ImageMagick install to my path on Ubuntu

I have had been on a roller coaster trying to get ImageMagick to work on my Ubuntu slice. I Whenever I try to upload an image I get the following error: /tmp/stream.1170.0 is not recognized by the 'identify' command.

If I type 'which identify' I get: /usr/local/bin/identify

If I run '/usr/local/bin/identify' or just 'identify', I get the following error: /usr/local/bin/identify: error while loading shared libraries: libMagickCore.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

If I run '/usr/bin/identify', ImageMagick is run just fine. How can I set my path to where when Paperclip runs the identify command, it points to /usr/bin/identify? Thanks.

p.s. I have tried adding this to paperclip.rb: Paperclip.options[:command_path] = '/usr/bin' and Paperclip.options[:command_path] = '/usr/local/bin'

You can also install it using Software Manager

Please follow the below steps otherwise.

$ sudo apt update 
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential

$ wget https://www.imagemagick.org/download/ImageMagick.tar.gz
$ tar xvzf ImageMagick.tar.gz

$ cd ImageMagick-7.0.8-26/

To run configuration and to compile

$./configure 
$ make
$ sudo make install

To create link,

$ sudo ldconfig /usr/local/lib

Check version

$ magick -version

I got it installed as follows (on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS): 

$ sudo apt-get install imagemagick libmagickwand-dev

This installs the ImageMagick on your machine.

You may now check its version as follows: 

$ convert -version

Installation directory: /usr/bin (you can find “convert” tool here) 

$ which convert

/usr/bin/convert

I prefer using aptitude:

sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install imagemagick

and you're fine.

Add LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib to your environment.

Alternatively, you can install ImageMagick from repositories, it should work out-of-the-box:

sudo apt-get install imagemagick
