ImageMagick Static Binaries for AWS Lambda
Raw
imagemagick.bash
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Must be run on an Amazon Linux AMI that matches AWS Lambda's runtime which can be found at:
# https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/current-supported-versions.html
#
# As of May 21, 2019, this is:
# Amazon Linux AMI 2018.03.0 (ami-0756fbca465a59a30)
#
# You need to prepend PATH with the folder containing these binaries in your Lambda function
# to ensure these newer binaries are used.
#
# In a NodeJS runtime, you would add something like the following to the top of
# your Lambda function file:
# process.env['PATH'] = process.env['LAMBDA_TASK_ROOT'] + '/imagemagick/bin:' + process.env['PATH']
#
# This works with both ImageMagick v6.x and v7.x
# version=6.9.10-23
version=7.0.8-45

@samkit-jain Thanks for the response! I had not added it properly, I repackaged and deployed a zip now and I'm getting a different error, not sure what I did wrong.

Here are the steps I took to package Wand:

  • Connect to an EC2 instance
  • pip install --target=package wand, pip install --target=package magickwand
  • scp the package to my computer, and zip the package along with my lambda function as per AWS zip deployment instructions

In lambda console, my lambda structure now looks like this:

myLambdaFunction
      - magickwand
      - magickwand-0.2.dist-info
      - wand
      - Wand-0.6.7.dist-info
      lambda_function.py

And when i try from wand.image import Image I now get the error message : Unable to import module 'lambda_function': MagickWand shared library not found.\nYou probably had not installed ImageMagick library despite the fact that I have deployed the imagemagick/ghostscript zip as a layer for this lambda and added it. Did I do something wrong in the Wand packaging or is the problem my lambda layer?
