    Thank you all for your responses.

    I should note that down somewhere... I'm sure I've come across it before.

    In any case, there is no command named "magick".

    Thanks, I was interested in the `magick identify` command referred to
    [here][0] which becomes just `identify` in this case.

    Hi,

    I have ImageMagick installed, but only the `convert` binary is in my path.

    Other binaries like `magick` are not. Where can I find them, why aren't
    they installed?

    Thanks,
    Christian

    In Synaptic, if you get the properties of an installed package one of the tabs is "installed files". You can find out where (or whether) those things are actually installed.

    The command-line equivalent is "dpkg -L", to list the files that belong
    to an installed package.

    In the specific case of imagemagick, things get a little bit weird:

    hobbit:~$ dpkg -L imagemagick-6.q16 | grep bin/
    /usr/bin/animate-im6.q16
    /usr/bin/compare-im6.q16
    /usr/bin/composite-im6.q16
    /usr/bin/conjure-im6.q16
    /usr/bin/convert-im6.q16
    /usr/bin/display-im6.q16
    /usr/bin/identify-im6.q16
    /usr/bin/import-im6.q16
    /usr/bin/mogrify-im6.q16
    /usr/bin/montage-im6.q16
    /usr/bin/stream-im6.q16

    And these are pointed to by symlinks in the "alternatives" system:

    hobbit:~$ ls -l /usr/bin/convert
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Feb 12 15:15 /usr/bin/convert -> /etc/alternatives/convert*
    hobbit:~$ ls -l /etc/alternatives/convert
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Feb 12 15:15 /etc/alternatives/convert -> /usr/bin/convert-im6.q16*

    In any case, there is no command named "magick".

    why aren't they

    Maybe they are.
