I tried following this to install ImageMagick on my hosting providers
centOS 3.7, and I must not have done something right, because I can run

/usr/bin/mogrify

from the command line, but regular user accounts can't run it for some reason, either that or its not compiled right or something, have no idea what I did wrong, I cut/pasted it exactally like u guys said to do?

any way I can test it?

[bubazoo]

nevermind, my hosting provider figured it out for me, all they did was recompile it they said (shrugs) oh well

anyway, to test your imageMagick install to see if its working,

from a SSH command line, type

convert  imagefilename.jpg  -resize   300x300  newimagefilename.jpg

(or you can use mogrify to rotate and crop images as well)

replacing "imagefilename.jpg" and "newimagefilename.jpg" with your image you want to manipulate with imagemagick

and it should create a new image... If it doesn't, check your file permissions first.
imageMagick should then be installed at path: /usr/bin

imageMagick uses 2 main commands mostly, /usr/bin/mogrify and /usr/bin/convert, depending upon if you want to resize, crop, flip rotate, etc, see man ImageMagick for more information

Hello,

I have just downloaded ImageMagick-6.2.8-0-Q16-windows-dll with PerlMagick options, etc...
The installation made successfully, I can acceed the IMDisplay panel.
I'd like to use Mogrify to create thumbnails for my store (OsCommerce).

I'm not a developer and at this point, I'm a bit lost!

I'm not sure which file I have to modify, where create the path (PATH="$HOME/ImageMagick/bin:$PATH")
and how acceed to the VisualMagick Configuration Tool.

I need some help,

Thanks very much

If you run CentOS, Fedora, RHEL, or anything else that uses yum..

'yum -y install ImageMagick'
