Mac OS X-specific Build instructions
-
- Perform these steps as an administrator or with the sudo command:
-
- Install MacPorts. Download and install http://www.macports.org/ and type the
- following commands:
+
+In order to install ImageMagick on OSX, you will first need Apple's "Xcode",
+which you can get by going to the AppStore and searching for "Xcode" and
+installing it.
+
+Next, you will need to install the "Xcode Command Line Tools" which includes
+the compiler. You can install those by running the following command in the
+Terminal:
+
+ xcode-select --install
+
+Now that you have the necessary tools, you have a choice of how to install
+ImageMagick. The simplest method is to use "homebrew", and that method is shown
+first below. The alternative method is to install from source, which is shown
+afterwards.
+
+################################################################################
+Method 1: Using "homebrew"
+################################################################################
+
+Go to http://brew.sh and copy the one-liner that installs "homebrew".
+
+Paste that into the Terminal and run it.
+
+For the very simplest, fastest, most basic ImageMagick installation, run:
+
+ brew install imagemagick
+
+Test your installation by running:
+
+ identify -version
+
+If you want to add support for extra features, such as HDRI, Perl, JPEG2000,
+pango,fftw, TIFF or rsvg etc. you can find the necessary switches by running:
+
+ brew options imagemagick
+
+then find the options you need and apply them like this:
+
+ brew reinstall imagemagick --with-jp2 --with-librsvg --with-quantum-depth-16 --with-pango
+
+If you have any problems with "homebrew", simply run:
+
+ brew doctor
+
+and follow the doctor's advice.

+Method 2: Compile from source - not necessary if you used "homebrew" method
+################################################################################
+
+
+Perform these steps as an administrator or with the sudo command:
+
+Install MacPorts. Download and install http://www.macports.org/ and type the
+following commands:
$magick> sudo port -v install freetype +bytecode
$magick> sudo port -v install librsvg
$magick> sudo port -v install graphviz +gs +wmf +jbig +jpeg2 +lcms
- This installs many of the delegate libraries ImageMagick will utilize such as
- JPEG and FreeType.
-
- Install the latest Xcode from Apple.
+This installs many of the delegate libraries ImageMagick will utilize such as
+JPEG and FreeType.
- Use the port command to install any delegate libraries you require, for example:
