Could not install ImageMagick on mac OSX El Capitan

When ever I try to install ImageMagick with homebrew it keeps showing the same error: Error: You must brew link xz libtool before imagemagick can be installed

When ever I run: brew link xz libtool
it says: Linking /usr/local/Cellar/xz/5.2.2... Error: Could not symlink . /usr/local/opt is not writable.

It does not work for me it keeps saying: ERROR: While executing gem ... (Errno::EPERM) Operation not permitted - /usr/bin/bulk_shrink

This happens even with sudo.
