Installing ImageMagick

To enable image manipulation in SkyVault, you must install and configure ImageMagick. SkyVault uses ImageMagick to manipulate images for previewing.
  1. Verify that ImageMagick, Ghostscript, and Ghostscript fonts are already installed on your system.

    Use the ImageMagick convert command to check that you have the right software installed on your machine. This command is usually located in /usr/bin: install Image.

  2. If the ImageMagick and Ghostscript software is not available on your system, download and install the appropriate package for your platform.

    To download ImageMagick, browse to ImageMagick download website.

    To download Ghostscript, browse to Ghostscript download website.

    Note: In next steps you will make changes to the SkyVault application configuration files to enable the manually installed ImageMagick application. These steps can only be performed after SkyVault has been installed.
  3. Browse to the <classpathRoot> directory. See System paths for more information.
  4. Open the SkyVault-global.properties file.
  5. Modify the ImageMagick properties to point to the ImageMagick root directory:

    Table 1. ImageMagick properties
    Property Description
    img.root On Windows, set this property to img.root=C:\\ImageMagick

    On Linux, set this property to img.root=/ImageMagick

    Note: Do not include a slash (/) at the end of the path. For example, /ImageMagick/
    img.dyn On Windows, set this property to img.dyn=${img.root}\\lib

    On Linux, set this property to img.dyn=${img.root}/lib
    img.exe On Windows, set this property to img.exe=${img.root}\\convert.exe

    On Linux, set this property to img.exe=${img.root}/bin/convert
    img.coders On Windows, set this property to img.coders=${img.root}\\modules\\coders

    On Linux, set this property to img.coders=${img.root}/modules/coders
    img.config On Windows, set this property to img.config=${img.root}\\config

    On Linux, set this property to img.config=${img.root}/config

    Note: Test that you are able to convert a PDF using the command convert filename.pdf[0] filename.png.
