18 <meta name="Description" content="ImageMagick® is a software suite to create, edit, and compose bitmap images. It can read, convert and write images in a variety of formats (about 100) including GIF, JPEG, JPEG-2000, PNG, PDF, PhotoCD, TIFF, and DPX. Use ImageMagick to translate, flip, mirror, rotate, scale, shear and transform images, adjust image colors, apply various special effects, or draw text, lines, polygons, ellipses and Bézier curves. ImageMagick is free software delivered as a ready-to-run binary distribution or as source code that you can freely use, copy, modify, and distribute. Its license is compatible with the GPL. It runs on all major operating systems. The functionality of ImageMagick is typically utilized from the command line or you can use the features from programs written in your favorite programming language. Choose from these interfaces: MagickCore (C), MagickWand (C), ChMagick (Ch), Magick++ (C++), JMagick (Java), L-Magick (Lisp), PascalMagick (Pascal), PerlMagick (Perl), MagickWand for PHP (PHP), PythonMagick (Python), RMagick (Ruby), or TclMagick (Tcl/TK). With a language interface, use ImageMagick to modify or create images automagically and dynamically."/>

156<p>Chances are, ImageMagick is already installed on your computer if you are using some flavor of Unix, but that it is not installed if you are using some form of Windows. In either case, you can type the following to find out.</p>
157
158<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick&gt; </span><span class='crtin'>identify -version</span></p>
159<p>If the <a href="../www/identify.html">identify</a> program executes and identifies itself as ImageMagick, you may not need to install ImageMagick from source unless you want to add support for additional image formats or upgrade to a newer version. You also have the option of installing a pre-compiled <a href="../www/binary-releases.html">binary release</a>. However, if you still want to install from source, choose a platform, <a href="#unix">Unix</a> or <a href="#windows">Windows</a>. Before installing from source, you may want to review recent <a href="../www/changelog.html">changes</a> to the ImageMagick distribution.</p>
160</div>

162<h2><a name="unix"></a>Install from Unix Source</h2>
163<div class="doc-section">
164
165<p>ImageMagick builds on a variety of Unix and Unix-like operating systems including Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, and others. A compiler is required and fortunately almost all modern Unix systems have one. Download <a href="ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/ImageMagick.tar.gz">ImageMagick.tar.gz</a> from <a href="ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick">ftp.imagemagick.org</a> or a <a href="../www/download.html">mirrors</a> and verify its <a href="http://www.imagemagick.org/download/digest.rdf">message digest</a>.</p>
166
167<p>Unpack the distribution with this command:</p>
168
169<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick&gt; </span><span class='crtin'>tar xvfz ImageMagick.tar.gz</span></p>
170<p>Next configure and compile ImageMagick:</p>
171
cristyb15553d2010-07-03 22:53:14 +0000172<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick&gt; </span><span class='crtin'>cd ImageMagick-6.6.3</span><span class='crtout'></span><span class="crtprompt"> $magick&gt; </span><span class='crtin'>./configure</span><span class='crtout'></span><span class="crtprompt"> $magick&gt; </span><span class='crtin'>make</span></p>
cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +0000173<p>If ImageMagick configured and compiled without complaint, you are ready to install it on your system. Administrator privileges are required to install. To install, type</p>
174
175<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick&gt; </span><span class='crtin'>sudo make install</span></p>
176<p>Finally, verify the ImageMagick install worked properly, type</p>
177
178<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick&gt; </span><span class='crtin'>/usr/local/bin/convert logo: logo.gif</span></p>
cristye6378132009-10-26 20:05:17 +0000179<p>For a more comprehensive test, run the ImageMagick validation suite. Ghostscript is a prerequisite, otherwise the EPS, PS, and PDF tests will fail.</p>
cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +0000180
181<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick&gt; </span><span class='crtin'>make check</span></p>
182<p>Congratulations, you have a working ImageMagick distribution and you are ready to use ImageMagick to <a href="http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/">convert, compose, or edit</a> your images or perhaps you'll want to use one of the <a href="../www/api.html">Application Program Interfaces</a> for C, C++, Perl, and others.</p>
183
184<p>The above instructions will satisfy a great number of ImageMagick users, but we suspect a few will have additional questions or problems to consider. For example, what does one do if ImageMagick fails to configure or compile? Or what if you don't have administrator privileges and what if you don't want to install ImageMagick in the default <kbd>/../usr/local</kbd> folder? You will find the answer to these questions, and more, in <a href="../www/advanced-unix-installation.html">Advanced Unix Source Installation</a>.</p>

188<h2><a name="windows"></a>Install from Windows Source</h2>
189<div class="doc-section">
190
191<p>Building ImageMagick source for Windows requires a modern version of Microsoft Visual Studio IDE. Users have reported success with the Borland C++ compiler as well. If you don't have a compiler you can still install a self-installing <a href="../www/binary-releases.html">binary release</a>.</p>
192
193<p>Download <a href="ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/windows/ImageMagick-windows.zip">ImageMagick-windows.zip</a> from <a href="ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/windows">ftp.imagemagick.org</a> or a <a href="../www/download.html">mirrors</a> and verify its <a href="http://www.imagemagick.org/download/windows/digest.rdf">message digest</a>.</p>
194
195<p>You can unpack the distribution with <a href="http://www.winzip.com">WinZip</a> or type the following from any MS-DOS Command Prompt window:</p>
196
197<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick&gt; </span><span class='crtin'>unzip ImageMagick-windows.zip</span></p>
cristyb15553d2010-07-03 22:53:14 +0000198<p>Next, launch your Visual Studio IDE and choose <kbd>Open->Project</kbd>. Select the configure workspace from the <kbd>ImageMagick-6.6.3/VisualMagick/configure</kbd> folder and press Open. Choose <kbd>Build->Build Solution</kbd>
cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +0000199to compile the program and on completion run the program.</p>

202
cristyb15553d2010-07-03 22:53:14 +0000203<p>Press <kbd>Next</kbd> and click on the multi-threaded static build. If you are using the Visual Studio 6.0 IDE, make sure no check is next to the <em>Generate Visual Studio 7</em> format option. Now press, on <kbd>Next</kbd> twice and finally <kbd>Finish</kbd>. The configuration utility just created a workspace required to build ImageMagick from source. Choose <kbd>Open->Project</kbd> and select the VisualStaticMT workspace from the <kbd>ImageMagick-6.6.3/VisualMagick/</kbd> folder. Finally, choose <kbd>Build->Build Solution</kbd> to compile and build the ImageMagick distribution.</p>

cristyb15553d2010-07-03 22:53:14 +0000213<p>The above instructions will satisfy a great number of ImageMagick users, but we suspect a few will have additional questions or problems to consider. For example, what does one do if ImageMagick fails to configure or compile? Or what if you want to install ImageMagick in a place other than the <kbd>ImageMagick-6.6.3/VisualMagick/bin</kbd> folder? Or perhaps you want to build and install the <a href="../www/ImageMagickObject.html">ImageMagickObject</a> COM+ component. You will find the answer to these questions, and more, in <a href="../www/advanced-windows-installation.html">Advanced Windows Source Installation</a>.</p>
