Install ImageMagick from source on Amazon Linux

Raw

I needed a newer version of ImageMagick than is available on the yum packages on Amazon Linux. I tried using the remi repo but it failed with dependency errors. Here is what I did to install ImageMagick with support for PNG, JPG, and TIFF.

download the most recent package

wget http://www.imagemagick.org/download/ImageMagick.tar.gz

uncomress the package

tar -vxf ImageMagick.tar.gz

install the devel packages for png, jpg, tiff. these are dependencies of ImageMagick

sudo yum -y install libpng-devel libjpeg-devel libtiff-devel

configure ImageMagick without X11. this is a server without a display (headless) so we don't need X11

cd ImageMagick
./configure --without-x
make && make install

mission complete.

I tried in a clean aws machine and it didn't work.
I needed to use curl instead of wget
and the run
yum groupinstall "Development tools"

because I was getting errors calling the ./configure --without-x
The error was>
configure: error: in `/home/ec2-user/ImageMagick-7.0.1-5':
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH

at last I needed to do sudo for make && make install

This was a godsend! Thank You!!!! (I also had to sudo pretty much everything). I chose to installed the latest 6.9.4-8 version and then uninstalled and reinstalled imagick (and restarted apache). Now it seems like I'm all upgraded!

Love smart people who help others out! :)

Thanks. This got me most of the way there for an upgrade on ec2 running php70! Since I was after webp support, I also installed the libwebp-devel (and giflib-devel for good measure). And, when done, I had to reinstall imagick via pecl instead of yum. Complete steps for me ended up being this:

sudo yum install libpng-devel libjpeg-devel libtiff-devel libwebp-devel giflib-devel

cd
wget http://www.imagemagick.org/download/ImageMagick.tar.gz
tar -vxf ImageMagick.tar.gz
cd ImageMagick-7.0.3-0/
./configure --without-x
make
sudo make install

sudo service nginx stop
sudo service php-fpm stop

sudo yum install php70-devel
sudo pecl install imagick

php -v

sudo service php-fpm start
sudo service nginx start

I'm running Amazon EC2 with AWS Linux on it. I tired the instructions from pdbreen and I'm getting an error right after executing ./configure:
./configure --without-x

Right after that I get this error:
configure: error: in `/var/www/html/ImageMagick-7.0.7-11':
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH

Adding the compiler fixed the issue:
yum install gcc gcc-c++ autoconf automake

Thanks.
PV.

It helps me a lot.! You're out of this world! Thanks!!!!!!!

If it complains about "delegates library support not built-in" (freefont or others), install ImageMagick-devel before executing sudo make :

sudo yum install ImageMagick-devel

raj-chef commented Mar 12, 2020

If anyone doesn't wanna compile then you can follow this process to install it via rpm packages.

sudo yum install libpng-devel libjpeg-devel libtiff-devel libwebp-devel giflib-devel

sudo yum install ImageMagick-c++-devel-7.0.10-0.x86_64.rpm ImageMagick-c++-7.0.10-0.x86_64.rpm ImageMagick-devel-7.0.10-0.x86_64.rpm ImageMagick-7.0.10-0.x86_64.rpm ImageMagick-libs-7.0.10-0.x86_64.rpm fribidi-1.0.2-1.el7.x86_64.rpm fribidi-devel-1.0.2-1.el7.x86_64.rpm

@raj-chef I tried the approach you mentioned. Looks like the binaries available are one version up.
On my end the rpms are not installing. I get the error below. Ideas?

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

I'm just amazed that this post from 7 years ago is still alive. Thanks for everyone continuing to post updated solutions.

Not exactly helping people who insist on ImageMagick, but still may help someone reaching this thread:

I use GraphicsMagick npm pkg with ImageMagick for resizing and converting images in Elastic Beanstalk nodejs.

Locally on macos the code successfully resizes/converts jpg, png, webp formats.

Same code deployed on AWS Elastic Beanstalk: JPEG/PNG formats convert successfully, however WEBP images are identified as PAM images, essentially breaking the ability to resize/convert them.

I consulted AWS support and eventually discovered a work around: dropping GM's ImageMagick mode .subClass({imageMagick: true} and not installing ImageMagick. After that, my nodejs instance worked correctly will the mentioned image formats.
