ImageMagick - Install on Redhat 9 from Source

Installing ImageMagick 7 from Source Code

To install ImageMagick from source, you need a proper development environment with a compiler and related development tools. If you don’t have the required packages on your system, install development tools as shown:

sudo yum groupinstall 'Development Tools'
sudo yum -y install bzip2-devel freetype-devel libjpeg-devel libpng-devel libtiff-devel giflib-devel zlib-devel ghostscript-devel djvulibre-devel libwmf-devel jasper-devel libtool-ltdl-devel libX11-devel libXext-devel libXt-devel lcms-devel libxml2-devel librsvg2-devel OpenEXR-devel php-devel

Now, download the latest version of the ImageMagick source code using the following wget command and extract it.

sudo wget https://www.imagemagick.org/download/ImageMagick.tar.gz
sudo tar xvzf ImageMagick.tar.gz

Configure and compile the ImageMagick source code. Depending on your server hardware specs, this may take some time to finish.

sudo cd ImageMagick*
sudo ./configure
sudo make
sudo make install

Verify that the ImageMagick compile and install were successful.

sudo magick -version
