How to upgrade ImageMagick to the latest 7.0.1 version?

[baijianpeng]

It was said that ImageMagick version lower than 6.9 has security issues, so I want to upgrade my ImageMagick 6.8 installed by VestaCP to the latest v7.0.1 version.

But, after I execute following command:

Code: Select all

yum install ImageMagick

My CentOS 7 tried to install ImageMagick 6.7.8.9 , which is the same version installed by VestaCP.

I tried to download the v7.0.1 RPM package and install it with following command:

Code: Select all

#  cd /tmp
#  wget http://www.imagemagick.org/download/linux/CentOS/x86_64/ImageMagick-7.0.1-1.x86_64.rpm
# rpm -Uvh ImageMagick-7.0.1-1.x86_64.rpm

Then I got following errors:

[root@ tmp]# rpm -Uvh ImageMagick-7.0.1-1.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
ImageMagick-libs = 7.0.1-1 is needed by ImageMagick-7.0.1-1.x86_64
libMagickCore-7.Q16HDRI.so.0()(64bit) is needed by ImageMagick-7.0.1-1.x86_64

libMagickWand-7.Q16HDRI.so.0(VERS_1.0)(64bit) is needed by ImageMagick-7.0.1-1.x86_64
[root@ tmp]#

Very sad now.

How can I upgrade the ImageMagick to latest v7 version?

Thank you.

Compile from source?

sorry I am afraid to install from source. I always like RPM method. That makes me feel safe to run the command.

If install from source, I am afraid something on my server will be broken, and I am not a server pro so I don't know how to fix.

I just wonder why CentOS team did not update the ImageMagick version in the repo to version 7 since we all know that version 6 has security issues.

yum install ? New version must be in repo.

Just before I reply your last post, I run following command:

Code: Select all

# yum install ImageMagick
Loaded plugins: langpacks

---> Package ImageMagick.x86_64 0:6.7.8.9-13.el7_2 will be installed

Look at the version number, it is 6.7.8.9 . very old!

What repo do you use now?

Dunno, don't know that, sorry.

Try to search rpm than.
