I have copied the ImageMagick-5.3.8.2.tar.gz file to my imagemagick directory. I am now attempting to unpack it. The instructions located at
http://www.photopost.com/magicknoroot-php.html
inform me to enter
$ tar -xvf ImageMagick-5.3.8.2.tar
to unpack this file I am guessing. Can you tell me where they are entering this command?
I do have Putty and I am able to establish an SSH connection. However, I am not sure where you are actually entering this command. Possibly a screen shot of successful execution would be nice. Any help is greatly appreciated.
