In order to use ImageMagick, we will have to use alias name of the app (which is set up in our system by default) - magick.

Let's check, if ImageMagick was installed:

$ magick --version

output:

Version: ImageMagick 7.0.10-7 Q16 x86_64 2020-04-22 https://imagemagick.org
Copyright: © 1999-2020 ImageMagick Studio LLC

Delegates (built-in): bzlib cairo fontconfig freetype heic jng jp2 jpeg lcms lzma openexr pangocairo png raw rsvg tiff webp x xml zlib

So, ImageMagick was installed well.
