Configuration Files:

  ImageMagick depends on a number of external configuration files which
  include delegates.mgk, magic.mgk, and modules.mgk. ImageMagick
  searches in the following order, and will use the first configuration
  file found:

      MagickModulesPath
      $HOME/.magick/
      $MAGICK_HOME/
      <program execution path>/
      MagickLibPath
      MagickSharePath
      X11ConfigurePath

  Where MagickSharePath, MagickLibPath, and MagickModulesPath are
  defined by the configure program on Unix, and default to
  /usr/local/share/ImageMagick/, /usr/local/lib/ImageMagick/ and
  /usr/local/lib/ImageMagick/modules/coders/ respectively.
  X11ConfigurePath defines where to find the X11 color database,
  rgb.txt. It defaults to /usr/X11R6/lib and is set to its actual path
  by the configure program.

  MagickLibPath, MagickModulesPath, and X11ConfigurePath are
  defined under Win32, VMS, and Macintosh as c:\ImageMagick\, sys$login,
  and the current directory respectively.


Environment Variables:

  In addition to the MAGICK_HOME environment variable defined above, you may
  find these variables useful:

      MAGICK_CACHE_THRESHOLD	megabytes of memory available to pixel cache
      TMPDIR			path to store temporary files
      LD_LIBRARY_PATH		path to libMagick.so


Unix/Linux/Cygwin Install:

  Download

      ftp://ftp.simplesystems.org/pub/ImageMagick/ImageMagick-5.3.0.tar.gz

  and type

      gunzip -c ImageMagick-5.3.0.tar.gz | tar xvf -
      cd ImageMagick-5.3.0
      ./configure -prefix=/usr/local
      make
      make install
      identify -verbose logo:

  Alternatively, download the appropriate binary from
  ftp://ftp.simplesystems.org/pub/ImageMagick/binaries.  The Unix
  binaries must be installed in the /usr/local.  If you require a
  different install directory, follow these steps (here we assume an
  install directory of /opt/ImageMagick):

      gunzip -c ImageMagick-*.tar.gz | tar xvf -
      /bin/mv share/ImageMagick/* /opt/ImageMagick
      /bin/mv lib/ImageMagick/* /opt/ImageMagick
      /bin/mv lib/ImageMagick/modules/coders/* /opt/ImageMagick
      /bin/mv lib/libMagick* /opt/ImageMagick
      /bin/mv bin/* /opt/ImageMagick
      setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /opt/ImageMagick 
      setenv MAGICK_HOME /opt/ImageMagick 
      /opt/ImageMagick/convert


Win2K, NT, Win98, Win95 Install:

  Download

      ftp://ftp.simplesystems.org/pub/ImageMagick/win2k/ImageMagick-win2k.zip

  and double click on it to extract the distribution.

  Select Start->Programs->Command Prompt.  In the Command Prompt window type

      cd ImageMagick-win2k
      identify -verbose logo:

  Alternatively, download the ImageMagick NT source

      ftp://ftp.simplesystems.org/pub/ImageMagick/win2k/ImageMagick-5.3.0.zip

  and read README.txt for detailed instructions on compiling the ImageMagick
  source as well as additional details on ways to tell ImageMagick how to
  find any of its configuration files and components.


MAC Install:

  Download

      ftp://ftp.simplesystems.org/pub/ImageMagick/mac/ImageMagick-mac.sit.hqx

  and double click on it to extract the distribution.   Move to the
  ImageMagick-5.3.0 directory and double click on the identify program
  icon.  Next, type

      -verbose logo:

  in the command window and choose File->Quit to exit.

  Alternatively, download the ImageMagick MAC source

      ftp://ftp.simplesystems.org/pub/ImageMagick/mac/ImageMagick-5.3.0.sit.hqx

  and double click on the Make AppleScript script to build from the source.


VMS Install:

  Type

      unzip ImageMagick-5.3.0.zip
      set default [.imagemagick]
      @make
      identify -verbose logo:
