Next Step installation from Remi Repository

You can install this repository using the following command:

wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh epel-release-6*.rpm

Next, you need to install the remi repository:

wget http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-6.rpm
rpm -Uvh remi-release-6*.rpm

An additional following step is required to enable the remi repository:

• Use your favorite text editor to open /etc/yum.repos.d/remi.repo. You need to find the remi section and enabled=0 change it to enabled=1.
• Make sure the required dependencies are installed:

yum install -y gcc php-devel php-pear

• Then install ImageMagick:

yum install -y ImageMagick ImageMagick-devel

Optional!

if you plan on using ImageMagick in perl scripts:

yum install ImageMagick-perl

On this steps, the installation’ll be done.

Install from source code

First install dependencies:

yum -y groupinstall 'Development Tools'
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

Upon successful installation, you will be provided with the dedicated source code:

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

Next, you need to compile the source code by following command

./configure
make
make instal

You can check the successful compilation using the following command:

convert --version 

Install PHP extension

Install the imagick php imagick.so extension module:

pecl install imagick

You will be prompted for the ImageMagick installation prefix. Press ENTER to auto detect. You can get this error after the pecl command:

"Error shtool at '/var/tmp/imagick/build/shtool' does not exist or is not executable. Make sure that the file exists and is executable and then rerun this script"

This is related to the protected and mounted /tmp directory. You may have configured your /tmp folder this way as part of protecting your server. To temporarily fix this error, remove the /tmp/etc/fstab line and reboot. Run the pecl command again. When the installation is complete, you can add /etc/fstab to /tmp and reboot. Using the umount command will not work if /tmp has the nosuid, noexec, nodev options. Then add the imagick.so extension to your php.ini file. Start by looking for your php.ini file. Usually found in /etc files.

php -i | grep "Loaded Configuration File"

Use a text editor to open php.ini and find the dynamic extension section. Add extension = imagick.so then save. Check the php extension list to make sure imagick is installed correctly:

php -m | grep imagick

If you’re using a web server like Apache, remember to restart it:

service httpd restart

Done!
