This file documents how to use the binary distribution packages built by
|
ImageMagick Studio LLC, and found in the ImageMagick 'binaries' subdirectory
|
of ImageMagick ftp sites. Those who want to build ImageMagick from source
|
code should refer to https://imagemagick.org/script/install-source.php.
|
|
Unix/Linux/Darwin/Mac OS X/Cygwin/MinGW Install:
|
|
Download the appropriate binary from
|
|
ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/binaries
|
|
Create (or choose) a directory to install the package into and change to that
|
directory, for example:
|
|
cd $HOME
|
|
Extract the contents of the package using the command
|
|
gzip -dc /path/to/package.tar.gz | tar -xf -
|
|
If the 'bin' subdirectory of the extracted package is not already in your
|
executable search path, add it to your PATH environment variable. For
|
example
|
|
export PATH; PATH="$HOME/ImageMagick/bin:$PATH"
|
|
Set the MAGICK_HOME environment variable to the path where you extracted the
|
ImageMagick files. For example
|
|
export MAGICK_HOME="$HOME/ImageMagick-7.0.2"
|
|
On Linux and Solaris machines set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable:
|
|
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$HOME/ImageMagick-7.0.2/lib"
|
|
On Mac OS X (Darwin) machines set the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable:
|
|
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="$HOME/ImageMagick-7.0.2/lib"
|
|
Now, test ImageMagick to see if it is working

|
To install PerlMagick type
|
|
cd ImageMagick-7.0.2/PerlMagick
|
perl Makefile.PL
|
make
|
make install
|
|
Additional Information
|
|
Environment Variables:
|
|
In addition to the MAGICK_HOME environment variable defined above, you may
|
find these variables useful:
|
|
MAGICK_TMPDIR path to store temporary files
|
LD_LIBRARY_PATH path to libMagick.so and other libraries
|
|
Configuration Files
|
|
ImageMagick depends on a number of external configuration files which
|
include colors.xml, delegates.xml, and others.
|
ImageMagick searches for configuration files in the following order, and
|
loads them if found:
|
|
$MAGICK_CONFIGURE_PATH
|
$MAGICK_HOME/etc/ImageMagick
|
$MAGICK_HOME/share/ImageMagick-7.0.2/config
|
$HOME/.config/ImageMagick/
|
<client path>/etc/ImageMagick/
|
<current directory>/
|
|
Font Files
|
|
ImageMagick is able to load raw TrueType and Postscript font files. It
|
searches for the font configuration file, type.xml, in the following
|
order, and loads them if found:
|
|
$MAGICK_CONFIGURE_PATH
|
$MAGICK_HOME/etc/ImageMagick
|
$MAGICK_HOME/share/ImageMagick-7.0.2/config
|
$HOME/.config/ImageMagick/
|
<client path>/etc/ImageMagick/
|
<current directory>/
|
$MAGICK_FONT_PATH
|
|
Module Files
|
|
ImageMagick's file format support is usually provided in the form of
|
loadable modules. It searches for loadable modules in the following order
|
and it uses the first match found:
|
|
<current directory>/
|
$MAGICK_HOME/etc/ImageMagick/modules-Q16/coders/
|
$HOME/.config/ImageMagick/
|
<client path>/../etc/ImageMagick/modules-Q16/coders/
|
$MAGICK_HOME/etc/ImageMagick/modules-Q16/coders
|
$MAGICK_HOME/share/ImageMagick-7.0.2/modules-Q16/coders
|
$HOME/.config/ImageMagick/
|
<client path>/etc/ImageMagick/modules-Q16/coders
|
<current directory>/
|
|
