Installing an Image Processor for attachment_fu

June 04, 2008

Instructions for both Ubuntu and OSX..

Ubuntu

Just used apt-get for this

sudo apt-get install libfreeimage3 libfreeimage-dev

Then to install the image processor

sudo gem install image_science

Couldn’t get the makefile to compile. Best way of getting this working was to install MacPorts.

Downloaded and installed MacPorts using the leopard .dmg
After installation ensured that path and manpath were correct
```
  which port # gives back a path
```
Used MacPorts to install freeimage
```
  sudo port install freeimage
```
n.b. this takes some time
install gem
```
  sudo gem install image_science
```
