convert is part of the package ImageMagick; try sudo yum install ImageMagick (or other privilege escalation method as appropriate to your system).

To install convert try package manager. Convert is part of ImageMagick package, convert is one of utilities.

Under Debian is possible use

sudo dpkg --install imagemagick

or

sudo apt-get install imagemagick

It is about 419 MB of space.

  • The question was about a redhat system and not debian.

  • I'm sorry for spam and missunderstand. To install convert under redhat is better use yum or rpm, I guess.

Next time you need a command like this you can figure out what package to install by running something like yum whatprovides '*/convert'.

    does apt-get have something like this? (whatprovides)
