# I battled for hours trying to install imagick via macports, trying to follow various tutorials.
# If you've been battling with macports, completely uninstall everything related to
# macports (http://guide.macports.org/chunked/installing.macports.uninstalling.html) 
# and trying with Home Brew instead, using the instructions below


# install brew (http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/)
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go)"

# install imagemagick
brew install imagemagick

# tap dupes
brew tap homebrew/dupes

# tap homebrew php
brew tap josegonzalez/homebrew-php

# install imagick (Note: change this command to refer to your relevant PHP version. Eg, for PHP 5.4, execute "brew install php54-imagick")
brew install php53-imagick

# if giving errors on the installation, comment the content on ~/.bash_profile or ~/.profile, open a new terminal and retry

# edit php.ini file (in MAMP, choose "File" -> "Edit template" with the PHP version you are using) 
# and add to the extensions (the route can be different)
extension="/usr/local/Cellar/php53-imagick/3.0.1/imagick.so"

# restart MAMP

# once ImageMagick is installed, head to:

/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/envvars

# comment out the two lines

DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="/Applications/MAMP/Library/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH"
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH

# and add the line

export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/bin"

# you may need ghostscript for conversions

brew install gs

# restart MAMP again
