Unable to install rmagick on mojave

Went thru many blogs in stackoverflow inorder to install rmagick but didnt find a solution. Any help is much appreciated.

Tried using uninstalling and reinstalling imagemagick. Flow some links like Install rmagick

Here is the output

sudo gem install rmagick

If you've installed Imagemagick per the instructions in your link, your shell may missing the path to the binaries. You can test by running a console command:

which MagickWand-config

If it returns a path (likely /usr/local/bin/MagickWand-config) your path is probably fine. If it returns MagickWand-config not found you should be able to type export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH in your console.

If your path wasn't correct before, after running the export command you can re-run the which MagickWand-config command to confirm it's in your path. Then try to gem install rmagick again.

I was able to install rmagick on Mojave following the link you posted.

If this did fix your issue you'll also want to add the export command I noted in your ~/.bash_profile or ~/.zsh_profile file so that path is prepended in every terminal window (if it's not there already)
