<h1>Install ImageMagick from Source</h1>
<p class="navigation-index">[<a href="install-source.html#unix">Install from Unix Source</a> &bull; <a href="install-source.html#windows">Install from Windows Source</a>]</p>


<div class="doc-section">
<p>Chances are, ImageMagick is already installed on your computer if you are using some flavor of Unix, but that it is not installed if you are using some form of Windows.  In either case, you can type the following to find out.</p>

<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $ </span><span class='crtin'>identify -version</span></p>
<p>If the <a href="identify.html">identify</a> program executes and identifies itself as ImageMagick, you may not need to install ImageMagick from source unless you want to add support for additional image formats or upgrade to a newer version.  You also have the option of installing a pre-compiled <a href="binary-releases.html">binary release</a>.  However, if you still want to install from source, choose a platform, <a href="install-source.html#unix">Unix</a> or <a href="install-source.html#windows">Windows</a>.  Before installing from source, you may want to review recent <a href="changelog.html">changes</a> to the ImageMagick distribution.</p>
</div>

<h2><a id="unix"></a>Install from Unix Source</h2>
<div class="doc-section">

<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="http://www.imagemagick.org/download/ImageMagick.tar.gz">ImageMagick.tar.gz</a> from <a href="http://www.imagemagick.org/download">www.imagemagick.org</a> or a <a href="download.html">mirrors</a> and verify its <a href="http://www.imagemagick.org/download/digest.rdf">message digest</a>.</p>

<p>Unpack the distribution with this command:</p>

<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $ </span><span class='crtin'>tar xvfz ImageMagick.tar.gz</span></p>
<p>Next configure and compile ImageMagick:</p>

<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $ </span><span class='crtin'>cd ImageMagick-6.7.7</span><span class='crtout'></span><span class="crtprompt"> $ </span><span class='crtin'>./configure</span><span class='crtout'></span><span class="crtprompt"> $ </span><span class='crtin'>make</span></p>
<p>If ImageMagick configured and compiled without complaint, you are ready to install it on your system.  Administrator privileges are required to install.  To install, type</p>

<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $ </span><span class='crtin'>sudo make install</span></p>
<p>You may need to configure the dynamic linker run-time bindings:</p>

<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $ </span><span class='crtin'>sudo ldconfig /usr/local/lib</span></p>
<p>Finally, verify the ImageMagick install worked properly, type</p>

<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $ </span><span class='crtin'>/usr/local/bin/convert logo: logo.gif</span></p>
<p>For a more comprehensive test, run the ImageMagick validation suite. Ghostscript is a prerequisite, otherwise the EPS, PS, and PDF tests will fail.</p>

<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $ </span><span class='crtin'>make check</span></p>
<p>Congratulations, you have a working ImageMagick distribution and you are ready to use ImageMagick to <a href="http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/">convert, compose, or edit</a> your images or perhaps you'll want to use one of the <a href="api.html">Application Program Interfaces</a> for C, C++, Perl, and others.</p>

<p>The above instructions will satisfy a great number of ImageMagick users, but we suspect a few will have additional questions or problems to consider.  For example, what does one do if ImageMagick fails to configure or compile?  Or what if you don't have administrator privileges and what if you don't want to install ImageMagick in the default <kbd>/../usr/local</kbd> folder?  You will find the answer to these questions, and more, in <a href="advanced-unix-installation.html">Advanced Unix Source Installation</a>.</p>

</div>

<h2><a id="windows"></a>Install from Windows Source</h2>
<div class="doc-section">

<p>Building ImageMagick source for Windows requires a modern version of Microsoft Visual Studio IDE.  Users have reported success with the Borland C++ compiler as well.</p>
