To install ImageGear, download an electronic version from www.accusoft.com. Please contact Accusoft at 1(813)875-7575 for instructions on downloading your specific version of ImageGear for Unix.

The name of the ImageGear installation package for Unix is the following:

• ImageGearPro18.1.0-Linux32.tar.gz (Linux 32-bit platform)
• ImageGearPro18.1.0-Linux64.tar.gz (Linux 64-bit platform)

Please see "Automated Installation Script" or "Manual Installation" sections below for details on installing ImageGear.

Automated Installation Script

1. Move the installation file ImageGearPro18.1.0-Linux32.tar.gz (ImageGearPro18.1.0-Linux64.tar.gz for 64-bit platforms) into your home directory $HOME
2. Extract the installation file contents, which is typically done by running

   	Copy Code
   tar zxvf {installation filename}

3. In the $HOME/Accusoft/ImageGear18/ folder ($HOME/Accusoft/ImageGear18-64/ folder for 64-bit platforms) after extracting, locate the install.sh script and run it. Below is the example for Linux (bash):

   	Copy Code
   . install.sh

   The script will search for and modify the current user's shell profile files to add ImageGear's environment variables for the current folder and attempt to run the Accusoft License Manager. Optionally, a destination directory can be used as an argument. For example:

   	Copy Code
   . install.sh $HOME/ImageGear18/

   In this case, the contents of the $HOME/Accusoft/ImageGear18/ directory will be copied to the specified directory, and the environment variables and licensing will be done for this location.

Manual Installation

1. Move the installation file ImageGearPro18.1.0-Linux32.tar.gz (ImageGearPro18.1.0-Linux64.tar.gz for 64-bit platforms) into your home directory $HOME
2. Extract the installation file contents, which is typically done by running

   	Copy Code
   tar zxvf {installation filename}

3. In order for ImageGear to work, there must be a license file installed. The license key is kept in the file with the name accusoft.<solution name>.<version specification>.imagegear. ImageGear installation comes with predefined solution name 'Accusoft' and version specification '1-10-18' for Linux 32-bit platform, and '1-106-18' for Linux 64-bit platform. The blank accusoft.Accusoft.1-10-18.imagegear or accusoft.Accusoft.1-106-18.imagegear license file is included in the installation.

   Please use $HOME/Accusoft/ImageGear18/licensing/licensemanager/runLicenseManager script (on 32-bit platform) or
   $HOME/Accusoft/ImageGear18-64/licensing/licensemanager/runLicenseManager script (on 64-bit platform) to run the License Manager user interface. Please refer to ImageGear Licensing for additional details about how to acquire a license key.

4. Now that the license file is created, the variable IMAGE_GEAR_LICENSE_DIR has to be defined and should contain the path to the license file (for example: $HOME/Accusoft/ImageGear18/ assuming the 32-bit default install). If the IMAGE_GEAR_LICENSE_DIR variable is not defined, ImageGear will look for the license file in /usr/lib/ directory.
5. In order to let the linker find ImageGear shared libraries, you need to define LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. For example:

   	Copy Code
   LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/Accusoft/ImageGear18/bin

6. ImageGear uses IMAGE_GEAR_LIBRARY_PATH variable to set a path to the ImageGear libraries. For example:

   	Copy Code
   IMAGE_GEAR_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/Accusoft/ImageGear18/bin

7. ImageGear also uses SSMPATH variable to set a path to the DCRAW library. It should point to the same location as IMAGE_GEAR_LIBRARY_PATH. For example:

   	Copy Code
   SSMPATH=$HOME/Accusoft/ImageGear18/bin"

8. Here is an example Linux .bash_profile with all the necessary variables defined:

   Copy Code

   # User specific environment and startup programs PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:. BASH_ENV=$HOME/.bashrc USERNAME="" LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/Accusoft/ImageGear18/bin IMAGE_GEAR_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/Accusoft/ImageGear18/bin SSMPATH=$HOME/Accusoft/ImageGear18/bin IMAGE_GEAR_LICENSE_DIR=$HOME/Accusoft/ImageGear18/bin export USERNAME BASH_ENV PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH IMAGE_GEAR_LIBRARY_PATH IMAGE_GEAR_LICENSE_DIR SSMPATH
