How to install on Ubuntu 18.04

[euglv]

I have problems with installing node-imagemagick-native on Ubuntu 18.04. I have added /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ImageMagick-6.9.7/bin-q16 to the $PATH, but when I install imagemagick-native with npm I get the following error:

> [email protected] install /home/node/panap/node_modules/imagemagick-native
> node-gyp rebuild

/bin/sh: 1: Magick++-config: not found

I was just able to get it to install, here's what I had to do:

# Install the binaries
# (this is documented)
sudo apt-get install libmagick++-dev
# Make sure the compile step can find what it needs 
# (this is documented, though I had to change the command a little)
sudo ln -s $(ls /usr/lib/$(uname -p)-linux-gnu/ImageMagick-*/bin-q16/Magick++-config | head -n 1) /usr/local/bin
# I had to add the PKG_CONFIG_PATH env var manually (not documented)
# I had to install from the master branch (not documented, but is in another github issue)
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH yarn add elad/node-imagemagick-native#master

I hope that helps
