Installing imagemagick failure

Viewed 732

I really suck at computers but need to use them willy-nilly. Please tell me if I missed vital info, I will try to supply.

My environments: MacOS 11.1(20C69) MacBook Pro (13-inch, M1, 2020) This is an out-of-the-box machine.

What I tried:

  • Installed homebrew [using the official terminal command; I don't know what it does but there is now a directory /opt/homebrew/, so it must be the installation location.]
  • command line: brew install imagemagick
  • command line: brew install ghostscript
  • command line: Xcode-select --install [this was suggested in the logs for the first "brew install imagemagick"]
  • (, which prompted GUI actions by MacOS)
  • Again brewed imagemagick [In case it matters, I was using a temp folder on Desktop as the current directory during the second attempt.]

I think the installation, however, seems unsuccessful:

% magick convert -version

zsh: killed magick convert -version

[Edit: After reading this, I did brew reinstall gettext and brew reinstall pcre2

and the above command is successful finally. BUT, it fails at:

convert testimg.jpg testimg.png

zsh: killed . . .]

Terminal may kill a process that overburdens the memory, but my test command cannot be burdening! Please, what is wrong?

Errors and warnings in the logs for second imagemagick installation:

Error: Failure while executing; git config --replace-all homebrew.analyticsmessage true was terminated by uncaught signal KILL.
