Install ImageMagick on dedicated cPanel server

Sunday, February 8th, 2009

If you need the version ImageMagick-6.4.9-2 to be installed on your cPanel dedicated server, we have followed the below steps which worked perfectly.

First, download the tar using the below command:

root# wget ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/ImageMagick.tar.gz
root# tar -zxvf ImageMagick.tar.gz
root# cd ImageMagick-6.4.9-2
root#./configure
root# make
root# make install

You can check the path for the installed ImageMagick by the command:

root# which convert
/usr/local/bin/convert
root# convert -v | head -n 1 | cut -c 22-26
6.4.9

OR

root# convert -v | grep Version:
Version: ImageMagick 6.4.9-2 2009-02-07 Q16 OpenMP http://www.imagemagick.org

That’s it!
