14.04 doesnt have package imagemagick

  • 772

Usually I had installed Image Magick on my Ubuntu systems with a command like this

sudo apt-get install imagemagick

or like this:

sudo apt-get install php5-imagick

Right now I am running the latest 14.04, and those packages seem to have disappeared from the repositories. Am I missing something? Have they been obsoleted? How could I install ImageMagick now?

    The package you are looking for is imagemagick. Confirm that you have all sources check marked in "Software and Updates":

    software and updates package sources

    and then update the package list by opening a terminal(Ctrl+Alt+t) and then typing the following:

    sudo apt-get update

    and enter you password and then

    sudo apt-get install imagemagick php5-imagick

    and then press Return to confirm the installation.

  2. In Ubuntu 14.04, imagemagick is available on main repository & php5-imagick is available on universe repository. So follow command in terminal:

    sudo add-apt-repository main
sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install imagemagick php5-imagick

  4. I used the following:

    sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install imagemagick php-imagick

    and also had to restart apache before it started working:

    systemctl restart apache2
