How to add a dependency to a package? (alien.top)

I'd like to add 'ImageMagick' as a dependency for ranger to enable sixel support for image preview. How do I go about doing this?

If you just need to make sure ImageMagick is available when ranger is built and/or run, you should be able to use overrideAttrs on the ranger package to add a buildInputs attribute, which will be a list containing the nix package for ImageMagick. To begin with, check this out:
