[R] Is ImageMagick package not compatible with R 3.3.2?

[Hervé Pagès]

Hi,

ImageMagick is an external software that you need to install on your
system. It's not an *R* package so trying to install it with
install.packages() won't work.

Note the difference between things listed in the SystemRequirements
field (the animation package has many of these system requirements)
vs things listed in the Depends or Imports field. The former are
external softwares (typically standalone programs or system libraries).
The latter are R packages that can be found with available.packages()
and installed with install.packages().
