86<p  class="lead magick-description">It's possible you don't want to concern yourself with advanced installation under Unix or Linux systems.  If so, you also have the option of installing a pre-compiled <a href="../www/download.html#unix">binary release</a>  or if you still want to install from source without all the fuss see the simple <a href="install-source.html#unix">Install From Source</a> instructions.  However, if you want to customize the configuration and installation of ImageMagick under Unix or Linux systems, lets begin.</p>
87
88<h2><a class="anchor" id="download"></a>Download &amp; Unpack</h2>
89
90<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="https://imagemagick.org/download/ImageMagick.tar.gz">ImageMagick.tar.gz</a> from <a href="../download">ftp.imagemagick.org</a> or its <a href="../www/download.html">mirrors</a> and verify the distribution against its <a href="https://imagemagick.org/download/digest.rdf">message digest</a>.</p>
91
92<p>Unpack the distribution it with this command:</p>
93
94<pre class="highlight"><code>tar xvzf ImageMagick.tar.gz
95</code></pre>
96
97<p>Now that you have the ImageMagick Unix/Linux source distribution unpacked, let's configure it.</p>
98
99
100<h2><a class="anchor" id="configure"></a>Configure</h2>
101
102<p>The configure script looks at your environment and decides what it can cobble together to get ImageMagick compiled and installed on your system.  This includes finding a compiler, where your compiler header files are located (e.g. stdlib.h), and if any delegate libraries are available for ImageMagick to use (e.g. JPEG, PNG, TIFF, etc.).  If you are willing to accept configure's default options, and build from within the source directory, you can simply type:</p>
103
104<pre class="highlight"><span class="crtprompt">$ </span><span class='crtin'>cd ImageMagick-7.0.8-23</span><span class='crtout'></span><span class="crtprompt">$ </span><span class='crtin'>./configure</span></pre>
105<p>Watch the configure script output to verify that it finds everything that
106 you think it should.  Pay particular attention to the last lines of the script output.  For example, here is a recent report from our system:</p>

181<p>You can influence choice of compiler, compilation flags, or libraries of the configure script by setting initial values for variables in the configure command line. These include, among others:</p>
182
183<dl class="row">
184<dt class="col-md-4">CC</dt>
185  <dd class="col-md-8">Name of C compiler (e.g. <code>cc -Xa</code>) to use.</dd>
186<dt class="col-md-4">CXX</dt>
187  <dd class="col-md-8">Name of C++ compiler to use (e.g. <code>CC</code>).</dd>
188<dt class="col-md-4">CFLAGS</dt>
189  <dd class="col-md-8">Compiler flags (e.g. <code>-g -O2</code>) to compile C code.</dd>
190<dt class="col-md-4">CXXFLAGS</dt>
191  <dd class="col-md-8">Compiler flags (e.g. <code>-g -O2</code>) to compile C++ code.</dd>
192<dt class="col-md-4">CPPFLAGS</dt>
193  <dd class="col-md-8">Include paths (.e.g. <code>-I/usr/local</code>) to look for header files.</dd>
194<dt class="col-md-4">LDFLAGS</dt>
195  <dd class="col-md-8">Library paths (.e.g. <code>-L/usr/local</code>) to look for libraries systems that support the notion of a library run-path may require an additional argument in order to find shared libraries at run time. For example, the Solaris linker requires an argument of the form <var>-R/path</var>.  Some Linux systems will work with <code>-rpath /usr/local/lib</code>, while some other Linux systems who's gcc does not pass <code>-rpath</code> to the linker, require an argument of the form <code>-Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/lib</code>.</dd>
196<dt class="col-md-4">LIBS</dt>
197  <dd class="col-md-8">Extra libraries (.e.g. <code>-l/usr/local/lib</code>) required to link.</dd>
198</dl>
199
200<p>Here is an example of setting configure variables from the command line:</p>
201
202<pre class="highlight"><code>configure CC=c99 CFLAGS=-O2 LDFLAGS='-L/usr/local/lib -R/usr/local/lib' LIBS=-lposix
203</code></pre>
204
205<p>Any variable (e.g. CPPFLAGS or LDFLAGS) which requires a directory path must specify an absolute path rather than a relative path.</p>
206
207<p>Configure can usually find the X include and library files automagically, but if it doesn't, you can use the <var>--x-includes=path</var> and <var>--x-libraries=path</var> options to specify their locations.</p>
208
209<p>The configure script provides a number of ImageMagick specific options.  When disabling an option <var>--disable-something</var> is equivalent to specifying <var>--enable-something=no</var> and <var>--without-something</var> is equivalent to <var>--with-something=no</var>.  The configure options are as follows (execute <code>configure --help</code> to see all options).</p>
210
211<p> ImageMagick options represent either features to be enabled, disabled, or packages to be included in the build.  When a feature is enabled (via <var>--enable-something</var>), it enables code already present in ImageMagick.  When a package is enabled (via <var>--with-something</var>), the configure script will search for it, and if is properly installed and ready to use (headers and built libraries are found by compiler) it will be included in the build.  The configure script is delivered with all features disabled and all packages enabled. In general, the only reason to disable a package is if a package exists but it is unsuitable for the build (perhaps an old version or not compiled with the right compilation flags).</p>
212
213<p>Here are the optional features you can configure:</p>
214
215<div class="table-responsive">
216<table class="table table-sm table-striped">
217  <tr>
218    <td>--enable-shared</td>
219    <td>build the  shared libraries and support for loading coder and process modules. Shared libraries are preferred because they allow programs to share common code, making the individual programs much smaller. In addition shared libraries are required in order for PerlMagick to be dynamically loaded by an installed PERL (otherwise an additional PERL (PerlMagick) must be installed.
220  <br /><br />
221  ImageMagick built with delegates (see MAGICK PLUG-INS below) can pose additional challenges. If ImageMagick is built using static libraries (the default without <code>--enable-shared</code>) then delegate libraries may be built as either static libraries or shared libraries. However, if ImageMagick is built using shared libraries, then all delegate libraries must also be built as shared libraries.  Static libraries usually have the extension <code>.a</code>, while shared libraries typically have extensions like <code>.so</code>, <code>.sa</code>, or <code>.dll</code>. Code in shared libraries normally must compiled using a special compiler option to produce Position Independent Code (PIC). The only time this not necessary is if the platform compiles code as PIC by default.
222  <br /><br />
223  PIC compilation flags differ from vendor to vendor (gcc's is <code>-fPIC</code>). However, you must compile all shared library source with the same flag (for gcc use <code>-fPIC</code> rather than <code>-fpic</code>). While static libraries are normally created using an archive tool like <code>ar</code>, shared libraries are built using special linker or compiler options (e.g. <code>-shared</code> for gcc).
224  <br/><br />
225  If <code>--enable-shared</code> is not specified, a new PERL interpreter (PerlMagick) is built which is statically linked against the PerlMagick extension. This new interpreter is installed into the same directory as the ImageMagick utilities. If <code>--enable-shared</code> is specified, the PerlMagick extension is built as a dynamically loadable object which is loaded into your current PERL interpreter at run-time. Use of dynamically-loaded extensions is preferable over statically linked extensions so use <code>--enable-shared</code> if possible (note that all libraries used with ImageMagick must be shared libraries!).</td>
226  </tr>
227  <tr>
228    <td>--disable-static</td>
229    <td>static archive libraries (with extension <code>.a</code>) are not built.  If you are building shared libraries, there is little value to building static libraries. Reasons to build static libraries include: 1) they can be easier to debug; 2) clients do not have external dependencies (i.e. libMagick.so); 3) building PIC versions of the delegate libraries may take additional expertise and effort; 4) you are unable to build shared libraries.</td>

231  <tr>
232    <td>--disable-installed</td>
233    <td>disable building an installed ImageMagick (default enabled).
234  <br/><br />
235  By default the ImageMagick build is configured to formally install into a directory tree.  This the most secure and reliable way to install ImageMagick.  Use this option to configure ImageMagick so that it doesn't use hard-coded paths and locates support files by computing an offset path from the executable (or from the location specified by the MAGICK_HOME environment variable. The uninstalled configuration is ideal for binary distributions which are expected to extract and run in any location.</td>

263  By default, ImageMagick is compiled with support for large files (&gt; 2GB on a 32-bit CPU) if the operating system supports large files.  Some applications which use the ImageMagick library may also require support for large files. By disabling support for large files via <code>--disable-largefile</code>, dependent applications do not require special compilation options for large files in order to use the library.</td>

267<p>Here are the optional packages you can configure:</p>
268
269<div class="table-responsive">
270<table class="table table-sm table-striped">
271  <tr>
272    <td>--with-quantum-depth</td>
273    <td>number of bits in a pixel quantum (default 16).
274  <br/><br />
275  Use this option to specify the number of bits to use per pixel quantum (the size of the red, green, blue, and alpha pixel components). For example, <code>--with-quantum-depth=8</code> builds ImageMagick using 8-bit quantums.  Most computer display adapters use 8-bit quantums. Currently supported arguments are 8, 16, or 32. We recommend the default of 16 because some image formats support 16 bits-per-pixel. However, this option is important in determining the overall run-time performance of ImageMagick.
276  <br /><br />
277  The number of bits in a quantum determines how many values it may contain. Each quantum level supports 256 times as many values as the previous level. The following table shows the range available for various quantum sizes.
278  <br /><br />
279<pre class="highlight"><code>Quantum Depth     Valid Range (Decimal)   Valid Range (Hex)
280    8             0-255                   00-FF
281   16             0-65535                 0000-FFFF
282   32             0-4294967295            00000000-FFFFFFFF
283</code></pre>
284  <br /><br />
285  Larger pixel quantums can cause ImageMagick to run more slowly and to require more memory. For example, using sixteen-bit pixel quantums can cause ImageMagick to run 15% to 50% slower (and take twice as much memory) than when it is built to support eight-bit pixel quantums.
286  <br /><br />
287  The amount of virtual memory consumed by an image can be computed by the equation <var>(5 * Quantum Depth * Rows * Columns) / 8</var>. This an important consideration when resources are limited, particularly since processing an image may require several images to be in memory at one time. The following table shows memory consumption values for a 1024x768 image:
288  <br /><br />

309  Image coders and process modules are built as loadable modules which are installed under the directory <var>[prefix]/lib/ImageMagick-X.X.X/modules-QN</var> (where 'N' equals 8, 16, or 32 depending on the quantum depth) in the subdirectories <code>coders</code> and <code>filters</code> respectively. The modules build option is only available in conjunction with <code>--enable-shared</code>. If <code>--enable-shared</code> is not also specified, support for building modules is disabled.  Note that if <code>--enable-shared</code> and <code>--disable-modules</code> are specified, the module loader is active (allowing extending an installed ImageMagick by simply copying a module into place) but ImageMagick itself is not built using modules.</td>

When <code>--without-perl</code> is specified, you must first install ImageMagick, change to the PerlMagick subdirectory, build, and finally install PerlMagick. Note, PerlMagick is configured even if <code>--without-perl</code> is specified. If the argument <var>--with-perl=/path/to/perl</var> is supplied, <var>/../path/to/perl</var> is be taken as the PERL interpreter to use.

349  The PerlMagick module is normally installed using the Perl interpreter's installation PREFIX, rather than ImageMagick's. If ImageMagick's installation prefix is not the same as PERL's PREFIX, then you may find that PerlMagick's <code>sudo make install</code> step tries to install into a directory tree that you don't have write permissions to. This common when PERL is delivered with the operating system or on Internet Service Provider (ISP) web servers. If you want PerlMagick to install elsewhere, then provide a PREFIX option to PERL's configuration step via "--with-perl-options=PREFIX=/some/place". Other options accepted by MakeMaker are 'LIB', 'LIBPERL_A', 'LINKTYPE', and 'OPTIMIZE'. See the ExtUtils::MakeMaker(3) manual page for more information on configuring PERL extensions.</td>

442
443<p>While <code>configure</code> is designed to ease installation of ImageMagick, it often discovers problems that would otherwise be encountered later when compiling ImageMagick. The configure script tests for headers and libraries by executing the compiler (CC) with the specified compilation flags (CFLAGS), pre-processor flags (CPPFLAGS), and linker flags (LDFLAGS). Any errors are logged to the file <code>config.log</code>. If configure fails to discover a header or library please review this log file to determine why, however, please be aware that *errors in the <code>config.log</code> are normal* because configure works by trying something and seeing if it fails. An error in <code>config.log</code> is only a problem if the test should have passed on your system.</p>
444
445<p>Common causes of configure failures are: 1) a delegate header is not in the header include path (CPPFLAGS -I option); 2) a delegate library is not in the linker search/run path (LDFLAGS -L/-R option); 3) a delegate library is missing a function (old version?); or 4) compilation environment is faulty.</p>
446<p>If all reasonable corrective actions have been tried and the problem appears be due to a flaw in the configure script, please send a bug report to the <a href="https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server//viewforum.html?f=3">ImageMagick Defect Support Forum</a>. All bug reports should contain the operating system type (as reported by <code>uname -a</code>) and the compiler/compiler-version. A copy of the configure script output and/or the relevant portion of  <code>config.log</code> file may be valuable in order to find the problem.  If you post portions of <code>config.log</code>, please also send a script of the configure output and a description of what you expected to see (and why) so the failure you are observing can be identified and resolved.</p>
447
448<p>ImageMagick is now configured and ready to build</p>
449
450<h2><a class="anchor" id="build"></a>Build</h2>
451
452<p>Once ImageMagick is configured, these standard build targets are available from the generated <code>make</code> files:</p>
453
454<dl class="row">
455<dt class="col-md-4">make</dt>
456  <dd class="col-md-8">Build ImageMagick.</dd>
457<dt class="col-md-4">sudo make install</dt>
458  <dd class="col-md-8">Install ImageMagick.</dd>
459<dt class="col-md-4">make check</dt>
460  <dd class="col-md-8">Run tests using the installed ImageMagick (<code>sudo make install</code> must be done first). Ghostscript iand Freetype are prerequisites, otherwise certain unit tests that render text and the EPS, PS, and PDF formats will likely fail.</dd>
461<dt class="col-md-4">make clean</dt>
462  <dd class="col-md-8"> Remove everything in the build directory created by <code>make</code>.</dd>
463<dt class="col-md-4">make distclean</dt>
464  <dd class="col-md-8">remove everything in the build directory created by <code>configure</code> and <code>make</code>.  This useful if you want to start over from scratch.</dd>
465<dt class="col-md-4">make uninstall</dt>
466  <dd class="col-md-8">Remove all files from the system which are (or would be) installed by <code>sudo make install</code> using the current configuration.  Note that this target is imperfect for PerlMagick since Perl no longer supports an <var>uninstall</var> target.</dd>
467</dl>
468
469<p>In most cases you will simply wand to compile ImageMagick with this command:</p>
470
471<pre class="highlight"><code>make
472</code></pre>
473
474<p>Once built, you can optionally install ImageMagick on your system as discussed below.</p>
475
476<h2><a class="anchor" id="install"></a>Install</h2>
477
478<p>Now that ImageMagick is configured and built, type:</p>
479
480<pre class="highlight"><code>make install
481</code></pre>
482
483<p>to install it.</p>
484
485<p>By default, ImageMagick is installs binaries in <code>/../usr/local/bin</code>, libraries in <code>/../usr/local/lib</code>, header files in <code>/../usr/local/include</code> and documentation in <code>/../usr/local/share</code>.  You can specify an alternative installation prefix other than <code>/../usr/local</code> by giving <code>configure</code> the option <var>--prefix=PATH</var>.  This valuable in case you don't have privileges to install under the default paths or if you want to install in the system directories instead.</p>
486
487<p>To confirm your installation of the ImageMagick distribution was successful, ensure that the installation directory is in your executable search path and type:</p>
488
489<pre class="highlight"><code>convert logo: logo.gif
490identify logo.gif
491</code></pre>
492
493<p>The ImageMagick logo is displayed on your X11 display.</p>
494
495<p>To verify the ImageMagick build configuration, type:</p>
496
497<pre class="highlight"><code>identify -list configure
498</code></pre>
499
500<p>To list which image formats are supported , type:</p>
501
502<pre class="highlight"><code>identify -list format
503</code></pre>
504
505<p>For a more comprehensive test, you run the ImageMagick test suite by typing:</p>
506
507<pre class="highlight"><code>make check
508</code></pre>
509
510<p>Ghostscript is a prerequisite, otherwise the EPS, PS, and PDF tests will fail.  Note that due to differences between the developer's environment and your own it is possible that a few tests may fail even though the results are ok. Differences between the developer's environment environment and your own may include the compiler, the CPU type, and the library versions used. The ImageMagick developers use the current release of all dependent libraries.</p>

576<h2><a class="anchor" id="problems"></a>Dealing with Unexpected Problems</h2>
577
578<p>Chances are the download, configure, build, and install of ImageMagick went flawlessly as it is intended, however, certain systems and environments may cause one or more steps to fail.  We discuss a few problems we've run across and how to take corrective action to ensure you have a working release of ImageMagick</p>
579
580<h5>Build Problems</h5>
581<p>If the build complains about missing dependencies (e.g. <var>.deps/source.PLO</var>), add <code>--disable-dependency-tracking</code> to your <code>configure</code> command line.</p>
582
583<p>Some systems may fail to link at build time due to unresolved symbols. Try adding the LDFLAGS to the <code>configure</code> command line:</p>
584
585<pre class="highlight"><code>configure LDFLAGS='-L/usr/local/lib -R/usr/local/lib'
586</code></pre>
587
588<h5>Dynamic Linker Run-time Bindings</h5>
589<p>On some systems, ImageMagick may not find its shared library, <var>libMagick.so</var>.  Try running the <code>ldconfig</code> with the library path:</p>
590
591<pre class="highlight"><code>/sbin/ldconfig /usr/local/lib
592</code></pre>
593
594<p>Solaris and Linux systems have the <code>ldd</code> command which is useful to track which libraries ImageMagick depends on:</p>
595
596<pre class="highlight"><code>ldd `which convert`
597</code></pre>
598
599<h5>Delegate Libraries</h5>
600<p>On occasion you may receive these warnings:</p>
601<pre class="highlight"><code>no decode delegate for this image format
602no encode delegate for this image format
603</code></pre>
604<p>This exception indicates that an external delegate library or its headers were not available when ImageMagick was built.  To add support for the image format, download and install the requisite delegate library and its header files and reconfigure, rebuild, and reinstall ImageMagick.  As an example, lets add support for the JPEG image format.  First we install the JPEG RPMS:</p>
605
606<pre class="highlight"><code>yum install libjpeg libjpeg-devel
607</code></pre>
608
609<p>Now reconfigure, rebuild, and reinstall ImageMagick.  To verify JPEG is now properly supported within ImageMagick, use this command:</p>
610
611<pre class="highlight"><code>identify -list format
612</code></pre>
613
614<p>You should see a mode of rw- associated with the JPEG tag.  This mode means the image can be read or written and can only support one image per image file.</p>
615
616<h5>PerlMagick</h5>
617<p>If PerlMagick fails to link with a message similar to <var>libperl.a is not found</var>, rerun <code>configure</code> with the <code>--enable-shared</code> or <code>--enable-shared --with-modules</code> options.</p>
