| PrerequisitesYou need Perl in order to run BINS, as well as the following Perl libraries (Mandrake and Debian package names are provided when known). This tarball contains all these libraries in rpm format for Mandrake or as tarballs when no rpm are available (see below for information on how to install Perl library from tarball). Table 1. Prerequisites Libraries
Refer to this page to know how to install them. You can find the perl interpreter and all this Perl libraries on CPAN. BINS need theImageMagick tools collection, which is probably already install on your system if you run one of the common GNU/Linux distribution. You can verify it by trying to run the convert (used to scale images) and mogrify (used to rotate images) programs. If the rotateWithJpegtran parameter is set to 1 somewhere in the configuration file, BINS can also use jpegtran to rotate images when the Orientation EXIF tag is found. If it doesn't find it (or if rotateWithJpegtran is set to 0), it will use the mogrify (from ImageMagick) tool instead. The jpegtran program can perform lossless transformation and is quicker than mogify, but works only on JPEG files. Note that some systems use a version of this program that is not compatible with BINS, so the rotateWithJpegtran is set to 0 in default config. jpegtran can be found in the libjpeg-progs Debian package or in the jpegsrc tarball accessible on this FTP site. |
