How to install ImageMagick during setup

Hi guys

I might need to install ImageMagick

how do i do it ?

thanks guys

Great! ...more than 2 years and a way to fix this problem hasn't been found yet....

If you have gd installed you don't need to install imagemagick. If its isn't installed than better recompile your php with it. It will be the shortest way to do it.

As Prashank25 pointed out. ImageMagik is not needed by dolphin if the GD library is installed.

Dolphin can use GD or ImageMagik for image processing. GD is the default as it is what most hosts install on their servers.

The install of ImageMagik or any other server software is something you should ask your host to do if you do not know how. Which you would need to if your on shared hosting anyway.

For those with VPS and Dedicated servers you can do this.

For ubuntu and other linux distros that use apt run this.
sudo apt-get install imagemagick

For CentOS and other linux distros that use yum run this.
yum install imagemagik

but i think opening php.ini and commenting out the gd line is still lot easier....lol

You mean the problem that no one checks the server requirements? Yes I agree, that problem should have been fixed long ago.

In addition to everything Deano listed if your using WHM/Cpanel you can also just go to:

WHM -> Software -> Install a RPM -> ImageMagick

 yes this is the fasted 1 click install method. I was searching though my whm selections and there Image Magik was. Now I have it installed but don't know how to switch from using the GD library to the Image Magik. I unchecked the box under dolphin setting so I was not using gd images and I could not upload an image to dolphin until I selected the gd library again. What file need to be altered to make this work and what should I do? Any suggestions?
