XOWA recommends that Linux users download and install ImageMagick and Inkscape according to their distribution requirements.
</p>
<p>
Ubuntu instructions are listed below. Other distro-specific instructions will be added as feedback is received.
</p>
<p>
After ImageMagic and Inkscape are installed, you must click the following link to update XOWA's config: <a href="xowa-cmd:%0Aapp.setup.cmds%0A%2F%2F%20Config%20file%0A.cmd_add('wiki.image_cfg'%2C%20'%7E%7B%3C%3Euser_cfg_dir%3C%3E%7Duser_system_cfg.gfs')%0A%20%20.add('.download.enabled_(''n'')'%2C%20'.download.enabled_(''y'')'%0A).owner%0A.cmd_add('msg.ok'%2C%20'config%20updated').owner%0A.run;%0A">update xowa config<img src="file:///C:/xowa_release/bin/any/xowa/file/app.general/xowa_exec.png"></a>. You can also configure this option at <a href="/wiki/Options/Files" id="xolnki_2" title="Options/Files">Options/Files</a>

<p>
Note that XOWA assumes that ImageMagick and Inkscape have the following paths:

</li>
<li>
<b>/usr/bin/convert</b>
</li>
<li>
<b>/usr/bin/inkscape</b>

</ul>
<p>
If these paths are different on your system, you will need to update the config file. Instructions are provided below. If you run into issues, you may want to visit <a href="/wiki/Dev/Config_files" id="xolnki_4" title="Dev/Config files">Dev/Config_files</a> for more information.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Open <b>/xowa/user/anonymous/app/cfg/os.gfs</b> in a text editor.
</li>
<li>
Search for <code>.cmd_('/usr/bin/identify')</code>
</li>
<li>
Update the path to whatever it is on you system.
</li>
<li>
Repeat for the other paths
</li>
<li>
Save the file and restart XOWA.
</li>
