In either case, you can type the following to find out:</p> 98 99<pre class="highlight"><code>magick identify -version 100</code></pre> 101 102<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="../www/download.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> 103 104<p>The authoritative source code repository is <a href="https://github.com/ImageMagick">https://github.com/ImageMagick</a>. </p> 105 106<h2><a class="anchor" id="unix"></a>Install from Unix Source</h2> 107 108<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. Clone the source repository:</p> 109 110<pre><span class="crtprompt">$ </span><span class='crtin'>git clone https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick.git ImageMagick-7.0.10</span></pre> 111<p>Or download <a href="https://download.imagemagick.org/ImageMagick/download/ImageMagick.tar.gz">ImageMagick.tar.gz</a> from <a href="../download">imagemagick.org</a> or a <a href="../www/download.html">mirror</a> and verify the distribution against its <a href="https://download.imagemagick.org/ImageMagick/download/digest.rdf">message digest</a>.</p> 112 113<p>Next configure and compile ImageMagick. Note the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pkg-config">pkg-config</a> script is required so that ImageMagick can find certain optional delegate libraries on your system. To configure, type:</p> 114 115<pre><span class="crtprompt">$ </span><span class='crtin'>cd ImageMagick-7.0.10</span><span class='crtout'><br/></span><span class="crtprompt">$ </span><span class='crtin'>./configure</span><span class='crtout'><br/></span><span class="crtprompt">$ </span><span class='crtin'>make</span></pre> 116<p>For advanced users, we recommend a modules build:</p> 117<pre><span class="crtprompt">$ </span><span class='crtin'>./configure --with-modules</span></pre><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> 118 119<pre class="highlight"><code>sudo make install 120</code></pre> 121 122<p>You may need to configure the dynamic linker run-time bindings:</p> 123 124<pre class="highlight"><code>sudo ldconfig /usr/local/lib 125</code></pre> 126 127<p>Finally, verify the ImageMagick install worked properly, type</p> 128 129<pre class="highlight"><code>/usr/local/bin/convert logo: logo.gif 130</code></pre> 131 132<p>For a more comprehensive test, run the ImageMagick validation suite.

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 <code>/../usr/local</code> folder?

Users have reported success with the Borland C++ compiler as well. If you don't have a compiler you can still install a self-installing <a href="../www/download.html">binary release</a>.</p> 144 145<p>Clone the Github repo:<p> 146 147<pre class="highlight"><code>git clone https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick-Windows.git ImageMagick-Windows-7</code></pre> 148 149 150<p>and run <code>CloneRepositories.cmd</code>.
