How to Update ImageMagick on cPanel
- 1). Log in to the ImageMagick FTP (in your browser or FTP client) and find the latest source (.tar.gz) version of ImageMagick (see Resources). Right-click the link and copy the link URL.
- 2). Open your SSH client and connect to your Web server. Not all Web hosts will let you do this, so check with your host before trying to connect. Your host will provide the server address and further information if unsure.
- 3). Type "cd /tmp" and press "Enter." Type "wget XYZ" (without quotes), replacing "XYZ" with the URL of the IMageMagick source. Press "Enter."
- 4). Type "tar -xvzf IM.tar.gz," replacing "IM" with the full file name of your ImageMagick source. Press "Enter."
- 5). Type "cd ImageMagick-X.X.X" (replacing "X"'s with the version numbers). Type "./configure" and press "Enter." Type "make" and press "Enter." Type "make install" and press "Enter."
