Version discrepencies with Imagemagick. How to fix?

It appears my install of the latest imagemagick is successful, but there is a discrepency when I query the version. identify -version shows the older version, and running it as identify calls the older version. Running convert does however call the more recent imagemagick.



There seems to be a default path issue, and I'm curious how to fix this without breaking something else :D



leo@thegrid:/usr$ /usr/local/bin/identify -version

Version: ImageMagick 7.0.4-0 Q16 x86_64 2016-12-28 http://www.imagemagick.org
Copyright: Copyright 1999-2017 ImageMagick Studio LLC
License: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/license.php
Features: Cipher DPC HDRI OpenMP
Delegates (built-in): gvc jpeg x xml zlib


But getting the version gives this:



leo@thegrid:/usr$ identify -version

Version: ImageMagick 6.8.9-9 Q16 x86_64 2016-11-29 http://www.imagemagick.org
Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2014 ImageMagick Studio LLC
Features: DPC Modules OpenMP
Delegates: bzlib cairo djvu fftw fontconfig freetype jbig jng jpeg lcms lqr ltdl lzma openexr pangocairo png rsvg tiff wmf x xml zlib


But still, running "convert" does seem to bring up the proper version:



leo@thegrid:/usr$ convert

What gives?

  • What does which convert return as the path? You might need to create links to the versions you want. The convert you might be looking for could be in /usr/bin/ but the one you are running could be in /usr/local/bin/

  • which convert returns the proper path but I was under the impression identify was connected and important too. I might be wrong -- but what would be the most non-destructive way to redirect this?

  • You might want to look at /usr/bin/convert --version and /usr/local/bin/convert --version. The default path is the one that will be called. It sounds like you have two different versions installed and they are in different folders.

  • That is correct. Is there a way to make one or the other default?

  • /usr/local/bin (which is where you should place additional local binaries) has a higher priority than /usr/bin (which is where the system's package manager installs software) by default. You can see that when you run echo "$PATH", the leftmost path has the highest priority. I recommend not to change that though.
