Install Imagemagik on Cpanel and Cloudlinux

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Imagemagik installation on a cpanel server is quite easy. Imagemagik is an addon for your cPanel server that allows for image manipulation. ImageMagick® is a software suite to create, edit, compose, or convert bitmap images. It can read and write images in a variety of formats (over 100) including DPX, EXR, GIF, JPEG, JPEG-2000, PDF, PNG, Postscript, SVG, and TIFF. Use ImageMagick to resize, flip, mirror, rotate, distort, shear and transform images, adjust image colors, apply various special effects, or draw text, lines, polygons, ellipses and Bézier curves.

You may first check if it is already installed on the server. You can use the following way to figure it out from the command line.

This will take a couple of minutes to complete. After installation you can check the version by executing the command, /usr/bin/convert –version
