===== Installation Notes =====

I6NET has integrated the ImageMagick tools in a PHP/Apache server to generate static texts.  You’ll need to install these packages to enable the function in a web server:

**imagemagick **

Generate a gif from text.\\
For Debian, install first imagemagick and gsfonts packages.

**ffmpeg **

Generate a 3gp file. \\
Use this [[legacy:complementary_tools_guide:ffmpeg_video_converter:start|ffmpeg]] package or compile if yourself.

**mpeg4ip **

Hint the 3gp file.\\
A hint track is a small track embedded alongside the audio and video tracks.  The hint tells the server how to “package” media data for the network.  Without a hint track, 3GP and MP4 files will not stream from the server.  Use this mpeg4ip package or compile it yourself ([[http://mpeg4ip.sourceforge.net|http://mpeg4ip.sourceforge.net]]).

**gsfonts**

Gostscript fonts\\
You can get the fonts from:

/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts

**text2video ** \\
TTV script for Vxi\\
This is our text-to-video package, based on php script.
