Importerror: Magickwand Shared Library Not Found[windows]

December 18, 2023 Post a Comment

Good morning, After a lot of attemps running from wand.image import Image I get the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File 'C:\Users\XXXXX\PycharmProjects\

Solution 1:

Refer to this answer here. I had the same problem but I had a 32bit version of Python so I had to download the x86 version of ImageMagick.

Solution 2:

I faced the same issue on my Windows laptop to solve it I followed the following steps:

Run one of the following commands:

!conda install -c conda-forge/label/cf202003 imagemagick!pip install install libmagickwand-dev!pip install ImageMagick

After this implement the steps mentioned on the following link:

#Install ImageMagick on Windows by following this page: https://docs.wand-py.org/en/latest/guide/install.html#install-imagemagick-on-windows

I have downloaded and installed ImageMagick-7.1.0-2-Q16-HDRI-x64-dll.exe

Restarted the kernel of my jupyter notebook. It solved my issue.

Note:

I am keeping this answer on this post and I have removed a similar answer from the Error: MagickWand shared library not found. You probably had not installed ImageMagick library. (even though I have)

Solution 3:

On windows, installing the 32bit version has worked for me, however, the link on wand's website is dead for some server reason. I have been able to make it work by installing from the binaries list.

Solution 4:

Even installing the correct version (32-bit / 64-bit) of ImageMagick 7.X.X, I still got the ImportError: MagickWand shared library not found error. For my version of Wand==0.4.5, what helped for me was uninstalling ImageMagick, then installing a 6.9.X version. You may find the list of releases here.

Solution 5:

For Python v3 (64 bit),

try installing ImageMagick-6.9.10-2-Q16-x64-dll.exe from here then put installed directory file path in Path environment variable, ex - C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.9.10-Q16

then install wand pip install wand==0.4.4

this should fix the issue as there are compatibility issues with wand and ImageMagick
