Installing ImageMagick 7 in Linux from source is a pain because there are lots of optional packages needed to support all of ImageMagick’s “delegates” (image formats). The compile will succeed, but the resulting install will be missing support for common formats (PNG, TIFF, etc.).

I *strongly* suggest using ImageMagick Easy Install (IMEI):

Not only does it take care of all this for you, but it can also incrementally update your local install after the initial installation.

Other than having to run 'apt-get install wget' the tutorial worked great. Thanks
