# Image processing
|
|
|
|
Material for MkDocs depends on several libraries to allow for image processing
|
|
as part of the build pipeline, including [social cards] and [image optimization].
|
|
For this reason, a few external libraries must be installed on the host system.
|
|
This section explains how to install them.
|
|
|
|
[social cards]: ../setting-up-social-cards.md
|
|
[image optimization]: ../building-an-optimized-site.md
|
|
|
|
## Dependencies
|
|
|
|
Install the Python dependencies for image processing with:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
pip install pillow cairosvg
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Cairo Graphics
|
|
|
|
[Cairo Graphics] is a graphics library and dependency of [Pillow], which
|
|
Material for MkDocs makes use of for generating [social cards] and performing
|
|
[image optimization]. See the following section which explains how to install
|
|
[Cairo Graphics] and its dependencies on your system:
|
|
|
|
=== ":material-apple: macOS"
|
|
|
|
Make sure [Homebrew] is installed, which is a modern package manager for
|
|
macOS. Next, use the following command to install all necessary
|
|
dependencies:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
brew install cairo freetype libffi libjpeg libpng zlib
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== ":fontawesome-brands-windows: Windows"
|
|
|
|
As stated in the [installation guide], the easiest way to get up and running
|
|
with the [Cairo Graphics] library on Windows is by installing [GTK+], since
|
|
it has Cairo as a dependency. You can also download and install a
|
|
precompiled [GTK runtime].
|
|
|
|
=== ":material-linux: Linux"
|
|
|
|
There are several package managers for Linux with varying availability per
|
|
distribution. The [installation guide] explains how to install the [Cairo
|
|
Graphics] library for your distribution:
|
|
|
|
=== ":material-ubuntu: Ubuntu"
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
apt-get install libcairo2-dev libfreetype6-dev libffi-dev libjpeg-dev libpng-dev libz-dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== ":material-fedora: Fedora"
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
yum install cairo-devel freetype-devel libffi-devel libjpeg-devel libpng-devel zlib-devel
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== ":fontawesome-brands-suse: openSUSE"
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
zypper install cairo-devel freetype-devel libffi-devel libjpeg-devel libpng-devel zlib-devel
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The following environments come with a preinstalled version of [Cairo Graphics]:
|
|
|
|
- [x] No installation needed in [Docker image]
|
|
- [x] No installation needed in [GitHub Actions] (Ubuntu)

### pngquant
|
|
|
|
[pngquant] is an excellent library for lossy PNG compression, and a direct
|
|
dependency of the [built-in optimize plugin]. See the following section which
|
|
explains how to install [pngquant] system:
|
|
|
|
=== ":material-apple: macOS"
|
|
|
|
Make sure [Homebrew] is installed, which is a modern package manager for
|
|
macOS. Next, use the following command to install all necessary
|
|
dependencies:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
brew install pngquant
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== ":fontawesome-brands-windows: Windows"
|
|
|
|
Installing [pngquant] on Windows is a little more involved. The
|
|
[pngquant-winbuild] repository contains a guide on how to set up an
|
|
environment for building [pngquant] on Windows.
|
|
|
|
=== ":material-linux: Linux"
|
|
|
|
All popular Linux distributions, regardless of package manager, should
|
|
allow to install [pngquant] with the bundled package manager. For example,
|
|
on Ubuntu, [pngquant] can be installed with:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
apt-get install pngquant
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The same is true for `yum` and `zypper`.
