Converting .NEF to .JPG

Question

I am trying to convert .NEF files to .JPG and I am using the command:

mogrify -format JPG *.NEF

this produces

mogrify: delegate failed `"ufraw-batch" --silent --create-id=also --out-    type=png --out-depth=16 "--output=%u.png" "%i"' @ error/delegate.c/InvokeDelegate/1329.
mogrify: unable to open image `/tmp/magick-9036lhDZz9AOJ7G2.ppm': No such file or directory @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/2695

When I try imagemagick:

convert DSC0001.NEF DSC0001.JPG

It produces

 --out-depth=16 "--output=%u.png" "%i"' @ error/delegate.c/InvokeDelegate/1329.
convert: unable to open image `/tmp/magick-9072zxFEis0gPDVe.ppm': No such file or directory @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/2695.
convert: no images defined `DSC0001.JPG' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3212.

What is being told in this error message?

It can't find [`ufraw-batch`](http://ufraw.sourceforge.net/) (a delegate program that IM uses to read/convert your NEFs) so make sure you have it installed. — don_crissti, Sep 02 '15 at 09:31

I had a similar problem doing a basic convert and I had to install the following package:

ufraw-batch

`ufraw-batch --out-type jpeg *` in directory where you have all your files – Gelldur Jan 23 '18 at 09:48
