Hi Tom,

Please install GraphicsMagick and set the path to the gm binary in the
Superdesk plugins.properties file.

Step 1: Run the following command: sudo apt-get install graphicsmagick

Step 2. Edit the file /var/opt/ally-py/superdesk/
distribution/plugins.properties
Look for 'gm_path' and set it's value to /usr/bin/gm.
E.g.: thumbnailProcessor.ThumbnailProcessorGM.gm_path: /usr/bin/gm

Step 3: Restart superdesk server.

Hope this helps,
Mugur
