      1 Mac OS X-specific Build instructions

      3 In order to install ImageMagick on OSX, you will first need Apple's "Xcode", 
      4 which you can get by going to the AppStore and searching for "Xcode" and 
      5 installing it.
      6 
      7 Next, you will need to install the "Xcode Command Line Tools" which includes 
      8 the compiler. You can install those by running the following command in the
      9 Terminal:
     10 
     11     xcode-select --install
     12 
     13 Now that you have the necessary tools, you have a choice of how to install 
     14 ImageMagick. The simplest method is to use "homebrew", and that method is shown 
     15 first below. The alternative method is to install from source, which is shown
     16 afterwards.

     19 Method 1: Using "homebrew"
     20 ################################################################################
     21 
     22 Go to http://brew.sh and copy the one-liner that installs "homebrew".
     23 
     24 Paste that into the Terminal and run it.
     25 
     26 For the very simplest, fastest, most basic ImageMagick installation, run:
     27 
     28     brew install imagemagick
     29 
     30 Test your installation by running:
     31 
     32     identify -version
     33 
     34 If you want to add support for extra features, such as HDRI, Perl, JPEG2000, 
     35 pango,fftw, TIFF or rsvg etc. you can find the necessary switches by running:
     36 
     37     brew options imagemagick
     38 
     39 then find the options you need and apply them like this:
     40 
     41     brew reinstall imagemagick --with-jp2 --with-librsvg --with-quantum-depth-16 --with-pango
     42  
     43 If you have any problems with "homebrew", simply run:
     44 
     45     brew doctor
     46 
     47 and follow the doctor's advice.

     51 Method 2: Compile from source - not necessary if you used "homebrew" method

     55 Perform these steps as an administrator or with the sudo command:
     56   
     57 Install MacPorts. Download and install http://www.macports.org/ and type the
     58 following commands:
     59   
     60     $magick> sudo port -v install freetype +bytecode
     61     $magick> sudo port -v install librsvg
     62     $magick> sudo port -v install graphviz +gs +wmf +jbig +jpeg2 +lcms
     63   
     64 This installs many of the delegate libraries ImageMagick will utilize such as
     65 JPEG and FreeType.
     66   
     67 Use the port command to install any delegate libraries you require, for example:
     68   
     69     $magick> sudo port install jpeg
     70   
     71 Now let's build ImageMagick:
     72   
     73 Download the ImageMagick source distribution and verify the distribution
     74 against its message digest.
     75   
     76 Unpack and change into the top-level ImageMagick directory:
     77   
     78     $magick> tar xvfz ImageMagick-6.5.9-0.tar.gz 
     79     $magick> cd ImageMagick-6.5.9
     80   
     81 Configure ImageMagick:
     82   
     83     $magick> ./configure --prefix=/opt --with-quantum-depth=16 \
     84       --disable-dependency-tracking --without-perl
     85   
     86 Build ImageMagick:
     87   
     88     $magick> make
     89   
     90 Install ImageMagick:
     91   
     92     $magick> sudo make install
     93   
     94 To verify your install, type
     95   
     96     $magick> /opt/local/bin/identify -list font
     97   
     98 to list all the fonts ImageMagick knows about.
