Nope can be wherever you set it to. Just type the path to jhead

example I installed mine in the same directory as my non-root install of imagemagick so I ended up with something like this for the path

/usr/local/apache/htdocs/imagemagic/bin/jhead

as long as the path is correct you should be okay

I am using a linux system and precompiled did not work for me but making the source did.

To be able to capture the EXIF info, only JHEAD is required right? Or JPEGTRAN is also required?

Nope just jhead

This is a good example of how to install it

I do this if no root access.

I would upload the source tarball to your webroot

do gunzip *.gz

then

tar -xvf jhead-2.2.tar

That results in a directory which I would rename just to jhead in your webroot.

Then type make thats it.

Point to that file as example /var/www/html/jhead/jhead

Also remember only images with exif information will have it extracted. Make sure you have such images. If you need one to test with try the one attached here.

ok, had asked my isp to instal JHEAD & they did. I've try to upload one of my pics that has EXIF info but I get error message which is not appeared before JHEAD installed. It's in here Fatal error when uploading

I 'untar' the file per your instructions, but the untar folder has no 'jhead' file.
It has 'jhead1.1gz', jhead.c', 'jhead.h', and some other files, but not only'jhead'
I'm using Source tarball jhead-2.3.tar.gz

when I type just 'make', I'm receiving command not found
typing ./make gives me no such file or direcotory

Any other ideas?

You will not have a jhead file until you make and it looks like you can't make

Try using a precompiled binary
