What is simplest process to get ImageMagick 7 with PNG support on Ubuntu?

Solution 1:

I highly recommend ImageMagick Easy Install (IMEI):

https://github.com/SoftCreatR/imei/

It tracks down all the source/development libraries needed for the additional ImageMagick "delegates" (image formats in IM-speak). Plus, it can also incrementally update your local install from newer source after the initial installation.

Installation steps as of now:

git clone https://github.com/SoftCreatR/imei
cd imei
sudo ./imei.sh
