I installed ImageMagick, but the old version is still there and working

Post by xstatic »

Hi, I am a linux newbie. I had an older version of ImageMagick on my server, however, I needed a newer feature.

I downloaded the new version into the folder /usr/share/ (I only did this because I saw an older ImageMagick folder there, but turns out the older one was just the original tar file.)

I installed the new version there.

It installed fine, but if I run convert, it runs the old version instead of the new one. What did I do wrong and how should I correct?

Thanks!!

Try using /usr/share/convert in your code.
