Configuration Files: ImageMagick depends on a number of external configuration files which include colors.mgk, delegates.mgk, magic.mgk, type.mgk, and modules.mgk. ImageMagick searches in the following order, and will use the first configuration file found: / / $MAGICK_HOME/ $HOME/.magick/ MagickLibPath MagickModulesPath MagickSharePath Where MagickSharePath, MagickLibPath, and MagickModulesPath are defined by the configure program for Unix-style builds, and default to /usr/local/share/ImageMagick/, /usr/local/lib/ImageMagick/ and /usr/local/lib/ImageMagick/modules/coders/ respectively. MagickLibPath and MagickModulesPath, and are defined under Win32, VMS, and Macintosh as c:\ImageMagick\, sys$login, and the current directory respectively. Environment Variables: In addition to the MAGICK_HOME environment variable defined above, you may find these variables useful: MAGICK_CACHE_THRESHOLD megabytes of memory available to pixel cache TMPDIR path to store temporary files LD_LIBRARY_PATH path to libMagick.so and other libraries Unix/Linux/Darwin/Cygwin/MinGW Install: Download ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/ImageMagick-5.4.6.tar.gz and type gunzip -c ImageMagick-5.4.6.tar.gz | tar xvf - cd ImageMagick-5.4.6 ./configure -prefix=/usr/local make make install identify -verbose logo: Alternatively, download the appropriate binary from ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/binaries. The Unix binaries must be installed in the /usr/local. If you require a different install directory, follow these steps (here we assume an install directory of /opt/ImageMagick): mkdir /opt/ImageMagick gunzip -c ImageMagick-*.tar.gz | tar xvf - /bin/mv share/ImageMagick/* /opt/ImageMagick /bin/mv lib/ImageMagick/modules/coders/* /opt/ImageMagick /bin/mv lib/ImageMagick/* /opt/ImageMagick /bin/mv lib/libMagick* /opt/ImageMagick /bin/mv bin/* /opt/ImageMagick setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /opt/ImageMagick setenv MAGICK_HOME /opt/ImageMagick /opt/ImageMagick/convert Win2K, WinME, NT, Win98, Win95 Install: Download ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/binaries/ImageMagick-win2k.zip and double click on it to extract the distribution. Select Start->Programs->Command Prompt. In the Command Prompt window type cd ImageMagick identify -verbose logo: If you have an X11 server, from the Command Prompt window type set DISPLAY=:0 display Alternatively, download the ImageMagick Win2K source ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/win2k/ImageMagick-5.4.6.zip and read README.txt for detailed instructions on compiling the ImageMagick source. MAC Install: Download ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/binaries/ImageMagick-mac.sit or ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/binaries/ImageMagick-powerpc-apple-darwin5.4.tar.gz and double click on it to extract the distribution. Move to the ImageMagick folder and double click on the convert program icon. Next, type -verbose logo: logo.jpg in the command window and choose File->Quit to exit. Alternatively, download the ImageMagick Classic Macintosh source ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/mac/ImageMagick-5.4.6.sit and double click on the Make AppleScript script to build from the source. VMS Install: Type unzip ImageMagick-5.4.6.zip set default [.imagemagick] @make identify -verbose logo:
