# Command Line Use

 * Hello,
 * I want to use this plugin rather than GD to keep exif infos attached to my photos.
   I downloaded and installed (and activated) successfully ImageMagick Engine but
   my images still don’t have exif attached.
 * I don’t know if the php module is installed by my provider, the plugin tells 
   me it isn’t but I can use the command line method since the usr/bin path is green
   checked.
    Is that right ? Do I need to have the php module installed to make 
   the command line version working ?
 * Thanks in advance,
 * Regards,
 * AF

 * My understanding:
 * The command-line method should work if ImageMagick is installed and enabled on
   your host server.
 * To use the other method you need ImageMagick AND Imagick installed and enabled
   on your host server.
 * Contact your Hosting service and ask if ImageMagick is enabled.
