Typically you download the static binaries and unzip to a folder in your
webspace and point TYPO3 to it.

I suggest you start with GraphicksMagick (gm) rather than ImageMagick (IM).

1) Download gm from http://typo3.sunsite.dk/software/linux/

http://typo3.sunsite.dk/software/linux/graphicsmagick-1.1.6_i386-static-2.tar.gz
http://typo3.sunsite.dk/software/linux/imagemagick-4.2.9_i386-static-3.tar.gz

2) Unpack to web space eg /htdocs/graphicsmagick-1.1.6/bin/gm
3) BE Install tool select ../../../graphicsmagick-1.1.6/bin/ as your path or
similar.
4) Choose this GM from the list and save to localconf.
5) Run the Image tests.

6) A better way is to instead copy the 'gm' to your local /usr/bin/ folder -
ask your server admin.
7) Go to step 3 above.

8) Follow the same proceedure for IM
9) If you have safe_mode On etc you may have a lot more difficulty so use.

That is it.
