<meta name="Description" content="ImageMagick (TM) is a free software suite to create, edit and compose bitmap images. It can read, convert and write images in a large variety of formats. Images can be cropped, colors can be changed, various effects can be applied, images can be rotated and combined, and text, lines, polygons, ellipses and Bézier curves can be added to images and stretched and rotated. ImageMagick is free software: it is delivered with full source code and can be freely used, copied, modified and distributed. Its license is compatible with the GPL. It runs on all major operating systems. Most of the functionality of ImageMagick can be used interactively from the command line; more often, however, the features are used from programs written in the programming languages Perl, C, C++, Python, PHP, Ruby or Java, for which ready-made ImageMagick interfaces (PerlMagick, Magick++, PythonMagick, MagickWand for PHP, RubyMagick, and JMagick) are available. This makes it possible to modify or create images automatically and dynamically. ImageMagick supports many image formats (over 90 major formats) including popular formats like TIFF, JPEG, PNG, PDF, PhotoCD, and GIF."/>

<p>You can install ImageMagick from <a href="../www/install-source.html">source</a>. However, if don't have a proper development environment or if you're anxious to get started, download a ready-to-run <a href="#unix">Unix</a> or <a href="#windows">Windows</a> executable. Before you download, you may want to review recent <a href="../www/changelog.html">changes</a> to the ImageMagick distribution.</p>

<p>ImageMagick RPM's are self-installing. Simply type the following command and you're ready to start using ImageMagick:</p>
<pre class="text">
rpm -Uvh ImageMagick-6.2.8-0.i386.rpm
</pre>
<p>For other systems, create (or choose) a directory to install the package into and change to that directory, for example:</p>
<pre class="text">
cd $HOME
</pre>
<p>Next, extract the contents of the package. For example:</p>
<pre class="text">
gzip -dc ImageMagick.tar.gz | tar -xf -
</pre>
<p>Set the <kbd>MAGICK_HOME</kbd> environment variable to the path where you extracted the ImageMagick files. For example:</p>
<pre class="text">
export MAGICK_HOME="$HOME/ImageMagick-6.2.8"
</pre>
<p>If the <kbd>bin</kbd> subdirectory of the extracted package is not already in your executable search path, add it to your <kbd>PATH</kbd> environment variable. For example:</p>
<pre class="text">
export PATH; PATH="$MAGICK_HOME/bin:$PATH"
</pre>
<p>On Linux and Solaris machines set the <kbd>LD_LIBRARY_PATH</kbd> environment variable:</p>
<pre class="text">
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$MAGICK_HOME/lib"
</pre>
<p>On Mac OS X (Darwin) machines set the <kbd>DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH</kbd> environment variable:</p>
<pre class="text">
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="$MAGICK_HOME/lib"
</pre>
<p>Finally, to verify ImageMagick is working properly, type the following on the command line:</p>
<pre class="text">
convert logo: logo.gif
identify logo.gif
display logo.gif
</pre>
<p>Congratulations, you have a working ImageMagick distribution under Unix or Linux and you are ready to use ImageMagick to <a href="http://www.cit.gu.edu.au/~anthony/graphics/imagick6" target="1861334505">convert, compose, or edit</a> your images or perhaps you'll want to use one of the <a href="../www/api.html">Application Program Interfaces</a> for C, C++, Perl, and others.</p>
<div style="margin: auto;">
<h2><a name="windows"></a>Windows Binary Release</h2>
</div>
<p>ImageMagick should run on Windows 98/ME/NT4/2000/XP. It is recommended to use an NT-based version of Windows (NT4, 2000 or XP). Starting with ImageMagick 5.5.7, older versions such as Windows 95 are not supported anymore. The amount of memory can be an important factor, especially if you intend to work on large images. A minimum of 128 MB of RAM is recommended, but the more RAM the better.</p>
<p>The Windows version of ImageMagick is self-installing. Simply click on the appropriate version below and it will launch itself and ask you a few installation questions. Versions with <em>Q8</em> in the name are 8 bits-per-pixel component, whereas, <em>Q16</em> in the filename are 16 bits-per-pixel component. A Q16 version permits you to read or write 16-bit images without losing precision but requires twice as much resources as the Q8 version. Versions with <em>dll</em> in the filename include ImageMagick libraries as <a href="http://www.answers.com/topic/dll" target="639935290">dynamic link libraries</a>. If you are not sure which version is appropriate, choose <a href="http://www.imagemagick.org/download/binaries/ImageMagick-6.2.8-0-Q16-windows-dll.exe">ImageMagick-6.2.8-0-Q16-windows-dll.exe</a>.</p>
