Please run sudo apt-get -y install imagemagick.

We could bundle ImageMagick inside the AppImage but it would increase its size considerably.

[cmatomic]

Thanks

[probonopd]

Actually... aren't we already bundling convert inside the AppImage? Need to check...

[cmatomic]

I'm not using AppImage "pkg2appimage-1794-x86_64.AppImage"

I'm just using pkg2appimage script "wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AppImage/AppImages/master/pkg2appimage"

[probonopd]

I have refactored this repository and turned pkg2appimage into an AppImage itself. Please use pkg2appimage-1794-x86_64.AppImage.

[cmatomic]

the same problem in Debian 10 ( Buster ) even installing imagemagick

Here it is missing the strings command, not ImageMagick...

for anyone here. I needed this to fix the issue.

sudo apt install gcc g++ automake libtool pkg-config
