Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

The manual didn't make any sense to me at all.

Could someone explain in simple terms, step by step, how to install it? I searched everywhere but was not able to find it. Thanks in advance.

I do not know if any of these instructions are of any use.

http://www.rubblewebs.co.uk/imagemagick ... /linux.php

This is to install into a server not a computer, how do i go about typing commands like 'wget', 'tar', 'make' etc... where do i do it.

It should work on a computer as well and you do it all in terminal.
All I did was download the RPG ? file upack it and ran it on my PC and it installed Ok.
As I say I am no Linux expert but I found later that ImageMagick was on the Fedora installation discs.

You might be able to do something like Yum install Imagemagic-whatever version number and file extension.

the problem is when i login to ssh, it keeps saying things like invalid command, so let me ask this, which program should i use to access ssh on my server?

I have just looked at http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binar ... s.php#unix and I see your version of Linux does not have a RPM file.

I am using Fedora and all I need to do to install is put yum install ImageMagick-6.3.6-10.i386.rpm and its all done for me.

as i said it's for my server and not computer, so which program should i use to access ssh? my computer has windows xp.

Centos is a RPM basied linux, You can build your own specific RPM for your specific machine from the latest SRPM (source RPM) file.

Follow the directions in. IM examples, API

it doesnt create the .rpm file in tmp/im_build/ImageMagick-3.6.7.
where is the rpm file?

so i took out all the --defines in those instructions and found the i386.rpm file in usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386, did the
'rpm -ihv --force --nodeps ImageMagick-6.3.7-0.i386.rpm'
command on it and it still doesnt work. i rebooted my server and checked for the thumbnail option in movable type and it still wasn't there which means imagemagick is not installed. has anyone ever installed imagemagick on centos4? whats the deal?

If you have Centos 4.2 it is very easy. Use the yum installer in conjunction with the Atomic Rocket Turtle archive. See the atomicrocketturtle.com website for instructions on how to install the gpg key and set up the archive, then just type "yum install imagemagick" at the SSH command prompt. That's all there is to it.

Do you think "yum install imagemagick" could work under Centos 4.4 ?

CentOS is basically Redhat Enterpise which is basied on Fedora.
It will probbaly work except for posible library version problems.

Best idea is to download the IM source RPM and try to build a local set of RPMs to install from that. this is actually what I do for all my IM installations.

See the method I use in
http://imagemagick.org/Usage/api/#building

I dont know if I am placing this in the correct area of this forum. Sorry if I did.

Operating System: CentOS 5

I followed the directions on installing

Download ImageMagick source code ( usually it's a .tar.gz ) to the server's temporary directory ( for example /tmp ). ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagi ... -10.tar.gz
cd /tmp
enter /tmp folder
wget ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagi ... -10.tar.gz
Unpack the archive
tar -xvzf ImageMagick-6.6.8-10.tar.gz
Enter the ImageMagick source code directory
cd ImageMagick-6.6.8-10
install ImageMagick
./configure
make
make install

On this last step, I got this error

I am a complete novice following step by step instructions. Can anyone help me please

You must type 'sudo make install' to install in your system level folders. Alternatively your can set the installation directory to your home directory on the configure script command line.
