I can't seem to find any specific instructions for newbies on:

How to upgrade "Imagemagick & the php extension"


Last year I had someone install imagemagick & the php extension. But now it's time for me to upgrade them and i am fairly a newbie. So i need some help.

I know how to use putty and i can access my root server files.


Can someone guide me to some instructions on how to upgrade these?


This is my current imagemagick version. I'm not sure how to find the extension version.





thanks

So far i download the file called "ImageMagick-6.9.1-10.i386.rpm"

But i am not sure where to upload to. I tried putting it in the /

But when i put in putty "rpm -Uvh ImageMagick-6.9.1-10.i386.rpm"

I get: No such file or directory




I'm a little confused.

ok! I put it in /root and it worked. But now the problem i got says : Failed Dependencies

I was able to upgrade it!

I followed the instructions here:
http://www.imagemagick.org/script/install-source.php





I still need to update(or install) the imagick pecl extension

Any advice?



thanks,

I figured it out:

WHM -> Software -> Module Installers -> PHP Pecl (manage). -> “Install a PHP Pecl” enter “imagick” and click “Install Now” button


Done & Done~
