Installation question

[Soundlover]

Hello,
I downloaded it from here and followed the instructions to install it on Linux. It installed without any errors and all tests passed.
My question is if I can delete the folder that was extracted from the download I got from here?
I put it in /home and its name is: ImageMagick-6.8.8-1
Thank you.

Why not test it yourself? Just rename the folder and run the IM — if application starts without any problems, you can safely delete folder. Otherwise, rename it back.

Thank you but how can I run it? Its on a server running CentOS with cpanel.

Sorry Soundlover, but I cannot help you, because I'm a Windows user and my knowledge of Linux is limited. Anyway, I think you can run it using command line by connecting to server via SSH (for example, using Putty). Something like:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/specify/your/im/path/to/convert -version

ps. Very strange that you are able to install an application, but you cannot run it

I run mine with php.

I am a windows user the same as Vicky and run mine with the command line on my localhost; I belive there is a similar option on Linux but I have no idea how it works. You will have to ask Google.

I ran: convert -version
And shows that its installed and the version. But it does not show the path where its installed.
I checked some folders but found nothing.

Try:
type convert
or
which convert

I deleted the folder, then checked and its still installed.
