Does paperclip need RMagick gem?

I am using paperclip gem for uploading/downloading and sizing photos in my Rails web application. I have ImageMagick installed. Do I also need the RMagick gem for my Rails app to work with ImageMagick? I am using the latest paperclip version 2.3.15

If I need RMagick, what is the best way to install RMagick gem on Windows Vista machine? Please point me to resources that walk through RMagick gem install on Windows machine.

Solution

  • You do not need RMagick, only ImageMagick.

    Look at the "requirements" section of the README: https://github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip
