How To Install libgraphics-magick-perl on Kali Linux

Introduction

What is libgraphics-magick-perl

libgraphics-magick-perl is:

GraphicsMagick provides libraries in several programming languages to read, write and manipulate image files across a large number of formats, from the widely used jpeg, tiff, bmp or xpm to special-purpose formats such as fits or image formats found on some photo CDs. There are functions for finegrained image processing tasks, as well as conversion routines between the various image formats.

The GraphicsMagick library is a fork of ImageMagick and therefore offers an interface that is similar in features, but intended to be more stable across releases. While compatibility does not go so far that the GraphicsMagick library serves as a drop-in replacement for ImageMagick, conversion can usually be done with little effort.

This package contains the classes to access GraphicsMagick functionality from Perl scripts. It is mostly similar to PerlMagick from the ImageMagick suite, but uses a different class name.
