Hello @Awais-cb! Please try to follow these steps, before installing ImageMagick. It should work!

@julianpro2198 I'm glad to hear this. You're welcome!

This page should be in the search results when a layman tries to installs ImageMagick for the first time in Linux environment, as there are many out there but none instruct about the installation of delegates. Many thanks for such informative post.

The above post is missing the png delegate, if you can add the below it will make the post complete :)

#libjpg62-dev required in order to work with basic PNG files
sudo apt-get install -y libpng-dev

Dear aamirencodes,
many thanks for your feedback!
I've just updated it, with the missing PNG Library, thank you!

Great work. Thanks!

Thank you so much! This solved my thumbnail issues with a mediawiki installation in under 10 minutes after fiddling around for a whole day!

I’m glad to know this!

I've followed all steps given by you above, but still get the error.

Here is a listing format available screenshot

I've followed all steps given by you above, but still get the error.

@dhruv-icreative Have you installed the dependency needed for PNG? The below one :
sudo apt-get install -y libpng-dev

If yes can you please try with the below command:
magick "input_file_path" -flip "output_file_path"

@aamirencodes Yes, I've installed the dependency for PNG.

Also tried your command, but it's giving me the same error.

Before jpg images also giving me the same error, then I followed all steps mentioned above.
Later on, I was able to work with jpg images, but not with PNG :(

Hello @dhruv-icreative,
I suggest you to check the presence of ZLIB library on your system: it may be missing or mis-configured.

If missing, you can install it as follow:

sudo apt get update
sudo apt install zlib1g

Let me know!

@nickferrando Thank you for the above instructions; I was wondering if some of the Delegates required to be installed above are uninstalling or cancelling out each other ; eg libtiff-dev REMOVES libjpeg62-dev. Will this affect the installation of ImageMagick In the Long run?

Thanks a lot!

Great @julia-blake!

@nickferrando +1 @aamirencodes 'This page should be in the search results when a layman tries to installs ImageMagick for the first time in Linux environment'.

One question related to @aamirencodes note '#libjpg62-dev required in order to work with basic PNG files' :
I am seeing "Package libjpeg62-dev is not available." JPEG encode/decode works by installing the suggested replacement "libjpeg62-turbo-dev" but the PNG will not take.

Any thoughts?
