Many web designers and front-end developers use MAMP due to its ease of use. However, MAMP unfortunately doesn’t come pre-installed with the very popular and wide spread image manipulation library ImageMagick.

This article is probably not one for the Terminal savvy programmers, but rather for the rest of us using drag and drop web server packages such as MAMP.
Prior to getting started, I’m assuming you already have MAMP installed on your local computer, most likely in /Applications/MAMP. If not, install it before you move on to the next step.
First, download ImageMagick for Mac OS X and unarchive it to /Applications/MAMP/bin/ImageMagick.
Next, open up Terminal.app (don’t be afraid, it won’t bite you), and enter line by line:
Test if everything works up to this point:
Last: browse to /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin and open envvars file with your text editor. Change the two uncommented lines, i.e. DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH='... and export... to:

If you had problems with starting Apache after updating to Yosemite, one of the proposed fixes was to rename envvars file to _envvars or to comment out lines containing DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH. That works if you don’t need to use ImageMagick, but DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH is required for it to function properly.
