I'm the author of the animation package, and I do plan to switch to the magick package in the future instead of using ImageMagick as a system dependency.

Thanks Herv?, Bert, and Yihui. I installed ImageMagick using the Bert link provided. I am still not able to produce gif. The saveGIF() example, from https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/animation/animation.pdf saveGIF({ for (i in 1:10) plot(runif(10), ylim = 0:1) }) However, my for loop is INSIDE plot, for example, saveGIF({plot(-4:4, -4:4, type = "n") for(i in 1:10){ x[i] <- rnorm(1) y[i] <- rnorm(1) points(x[i], y[i]) } }) Is this possible?

I figured it out. You can first do, saveGIF({ for (j in 1:20){ plot(-4:4, -4:4, type = "n") for(i in 1:10){ x[i] <- rnorm(1) y[i] <- rnorm(1) points(x[i], y[i]) } } }) It looks like you have to re-plot every time.
