- 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 the file README.txt in the ImageMagick source package
- or http://www.imagemagick.org/script/install-source.php on the web.
-
- 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-6.3.2"
-
- On Linux and Solaris machines set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable:
-
- export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$HOME/ImageMagick-6.3.2/lib"
-
- On Mac OS X (Darwin) machines set the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable:
-
- export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="$HOME/ImageMagick-6.3.2/lib"
-
- Now, test ImageMagick to see if it is working

- 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, magic.xml, coder.xml, and others.
- ImageMagick searches for configuration files in the following order, and
- loads them if found:
-
- $MAGICK_CONFIGURE_PATH
- $MAGICK_HOME/lib/ImageMagick-6.3.2/config
- $MAGICK_HOME/share/ImageMagick-6.3.2/config
- $HOME/.magick/
- <client path>/lib/ImageMagick-6.3.2/
- <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/lib/ImageMagick-6.3.2/config
- $MAGICK_HOME/share/ImageMagick-6.3.2/config
- $HOME/.magick/
- <client path>/lib/ImageMagick-6.3.2/
- <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/lib/ImageMagick-6.3.2/modules-Q16/coders/
- $HOME/.magick/
- <client path>/../lib/ImageMagick-6.3.2/modules-Q16/coders/
-
- $MAGICK_HOME/lib/ImageMagick-6.3.2/modules-Q16/coders
- $MAGICK_HOME/share/ImageMagick-6.3.2/modules-Q16/coders
- $HOME/.magick/
- <client path>/lib/ImageMagick-6.3.2/modules-Q16/coders
- <current directory>/
