Install latest version on Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty

[mjmj]

Hi,

How do I go about installing the latest ImageMagick version on Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty?
apt-get install installs Version: ImageMagick 6.7.7-10 2018-06-11 Q16

Is there a safe PPA or other method, maybe from source to install the latest?

Thanks.

I am not an expert on this. But you might want to try from source according to https://askubuntu.com/questions/1042436 ... gick-7-0-7

Thanks , I was able to get 7.0.8-5 installed using these instructions: https://askubuntu.com/questions/745660/ ... 195#746195

My problem now is that build-dep installs an INSANE amount of packages and I want to remove those once imagemagick is installed. Do I just need the binaries in /usr/local/bin for imagemagick to work? Or do they depend on certain packages on the system?

Unfortunately you can't

Code: Select all

apt-get remove build-dep

and

Code: Select all

apt-cache showsrc imagemagick

is a rabbit hole of packages to someone like me.
