In the case of running Sage via Sage-Windows, this means they should be available to the Cygwin environment Sage runs in. It seems likely that the next version of Sage-Windows will either have imagemagick and ffmpeg installed, or that it will allow to install extra stuff in the underlying Cygwin. In the meanwhile, you could try to build from source on Cygwin, by following the instructions on this wiki page: https://trac.sagemath.org/wiki/Cygwin64Port Note that at the end of the prerequisites section you should insert the additional installation of imagemagick and ffmpeg which hopefully can be realized by running apt-cyg install ffmpeg imagemagick Another possibility you might want to explore is using the Docker image for SageMath https://hub.docker.com/r/sagemath/sagemath/ or the Docker image for SageMath + computational topology: https://hub.docker.com/r/computop/sage/ and installing ffmpeg and imagemagick into those if they are not already there. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-support" group.
