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

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

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. – deagh Feb 03 '15 at 16:08
I'm sorry for spam and missunderstand. To **install convert** under redhat is better use yum or rpm, I guess. – user3.1415 Feb 05 '15 at 14:34
