Configuration Files:

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

      <current directory>/
      <client path>/
      $MAGICK_HOME/
      $HOME/.magick/
      MagickLibPath
      MagickModulesPath
      MagickSharePath

  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.

  MagickLibPath and MagickModulesPath, and 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/Darwin/Cygwin Install:

  Download

      ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/ImageMagick-5.4.4.tar.gz

  and type

      gunzip -c ImageMagick-5.4.4.tar.gz | tar xvf -
      cd ImageMagick-5.4.4
      ./configure -prefix=/usr/local
      make
      make install
      identify -verbose logo:

  Alternatively, download the appropriate binary from
  ftp://ftp.imagemagick.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):

      mkdir /opt/ImageMagick
      gunzip -c ImageMagick-*.tar.gz | tar xvf -
      /bin/mv share/ImageMagick/* /opt/ImageMagick
      /bin/mv lib/ImageMagick/modules/coders/* /opt/ImageMagick
      /bin/mv lib/ImageMagick/* /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

  Alternatively, download the ImageMagick Win2K source

      ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/win2k/ImageMagick-5.4.4.zip
