Installing ImageMagick on a cPanel server

Posted on: January 21, 2015

If you have a client asking for ImageMagick to be installed on a server, do the following.

First, make sure that it is not already installed.  To do this, SSH to the server, and type the following:

which convert

This command will tell you where the convert (the main image magick binary) file is located on the server.  You should see an output like this:

[root@host ~]# which convert
/usr/local/bin/convert

If it comes up empty, then ImageMagick is not installed.  To start the installation, simply run the following command:

/scripts/installimagemagick

Once it completes, ImageMagick should now be on the server for all your customers to use.  To verify that it did indeed install, you can also run the following

/usr/local/bin/convert -version
