Thanks!
build-essential is also required of course; I suggest to add that to the apt-get call.

@dietmar thank you. I have missed a lot of basic things probably. It's my dev machine and a lot of tools already installed in there. Worth trying to run in some clean docker container.

@hurricup thanks for this!

First of all thanks for the job. I had to go deeper and I found the original documentation where I saw that about half of your configured modules are in fact already present by default. Here is a list of what is default extracted from the docs:

w/o	Configure Option	Arg	Default
--enable-	shared		FALSE
--disable-	static		TRUE
--disable-	installed		TRUE
--enable-	ccmalloc		FALSE
--enable-	prof		FALSE
--enable-	gprof		FALSE
--enable-	gcov		FALSE
--disable-	openmp		TRUE
--disable-	largefile		TRUE
--with-	quantum-depth		FALSE
--enable-	hdri		FALSE
--enable-	osx-universal-binary		FALSE
--without-	modules		TRUE
--with-	cache		FALSE
--without-	threads		TRUE
--with-	frozenpaths		FALSE
--without-	magick-plus-plus		TRUE
--without-	perl		TRUE
--with-	perl	path	FALSE
--with-	perl-options	parameters	FALSE
--without-	bzlib		TRUE
--without-	dps		TRUE
--with-	fpx		FALSE
--without-	freetype		TRUE
--with-	gslib		FALSE
--without-	jbig		TRUE
--without-	jpeg		TRUE
--without-	jp2		TRUE
--without-	lcms		TRUE
--without-	lzma		TRUE
--without-	png		TRUE
--without-	tiff		TRUE
--without-	wmf		TRUE
--with-	fontpath	path	FALSE
--with-	gs-font-dir	path	FALSE
--with-	windows-font-dir	path	FALSE
--without-	xml		TRUE
--without-	zlib		TRUE
--without-	x		TRUE
--with-	share-path	path	FALSE
--with-	libstdc	path	FALSE

So, about half of modules can be cutted off, and 6 dependencies too. Also, there is no need to specify --with-some-module=yes, --with-some-module has the same effect.

As for concern of this topic and for my needs I think the script can be resumed as:

# remove bundled ImageMagick
sudo apt remove imagemagick -y

# install base dependencies
sudo apt-get install -y libheif-dev libwebp-dev

# installing
git clone --depth 1 --branch 7.1.0-14 https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick.git
cd ImageMagick

./configure --with-heic --with-webp

make -j 8
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig /usr/local/lib

# check
identify --version

@SorinGFS yes, but defaults may change from version to version, I've made this script independent from defaults. And some dependencies may not be installed for some reason. Even my script is incomplete, because I've had some of deps already.

Worked great for me, thank you!

This worked for me awhile back, but recently I tried it on a new machine running Linux Mint 20.3 (based on Ubuntu) and for some reason despite having removed the imagemagick package in the first step, identify --version at the end returned the old version number.

I did some digging and discovered that while magick was loading the new version, there were old versions of identify, convert and mogrify in my /usr/bin directory that were being called whenever I used those commands. The new ones were all in /usr/local/bin.

According to my $PATH, /usr/local/bin should override identical commands in /usr/bin, and I'm not sure why they didn't. But the quick fix was just to sudo rm the versions in /usr/bin.

In case anyone else encounters this...

• Updated to 7.1.0-47
• Added build-essential explicit installation
• Explicitly enabled flif disabled by default
• Tested with wsl ubuntu

• Added few more dependencies for clean machine

• Updated to 7.1.0-51

• Updated to 7.1.0-52

• Updated to 7.1.0-53

• Updated to 7.1.0-54

Nice script. Might want to add git to the list of dependencies at the top of the script though, I was running this on a fresh Mint box and it failed due to lack of git.

Added git. Thank you.

Does anybody know how to properly generate some default configs for imagemagick and where should they go? Without them and installing from source it might be pretty sketchy when you resize big images.

@iskrisis feels like IM repo is proper place for such question

Thank you for this script. Saved me a bunch of time!

I was only having success with AVIF support using imei https://github.com/SoftCreatR/imei on ubuntu 20.0.4

If the make step fails with an error like:

/usr/bin/sed: can't read 1/ImageMagick/MagickCore/libMagickCore-7.Q16HDRI.la: No such file or directory
libtool:   error: '1/ImageMagick/MagickCore/libMagickCore-7.Q16HDRI.la' is not a valid libtool archive
make[1]: *** [Makefile:7294: MagickWand/libMagickWand-7.Q16HDRI.la] Error 1

libtool does not work with directories containing spaces. Ensure you compile ImageMagick in a directory such that the full path does not contain a space.
