Ghostscript is the ability to convert PostScript language to PDF and vice versa. Ghostscript converts files with some limitations. This tutorial will help you to upgrade Ghostscript.
Step 1: Download Ghostscript and extract tar file:
# cd /opt/ # wget http://downloads.ghostscript.com/public/ghostscript-9.16.tar.gz # tar xvf ghostscript-9.16.tar.gz
Step 2: Install Ghostscript
After extract tar file install Ghostscript using following command:
# cd ghostscript-9.16-linux-x86_64 # ./configure # make # make install
Step 3: Ghostscript Version
We can check ghostscript version with multiple command but after installation when we check ghostscript version by multiple command then we get different version so we can make softlink to make same version with each command. Use the following command to make same version:
# ln -s /usr/local/bin/gs /usr/bin/ghostscript
Step 4: Check version
Use following command to check the version:
# gs -v GPL Ghostscript 9.16 (2015-03-30) Copyright (C) 2015 Artifex Software, Inc. All rights reserved.
# ghostscript -v GPL Ghostscript 9.16 (2015-03-30) Copyright (C) 2015 Artifex Software, Inc. All rights reserved.
Enjoy it!
Comments
I do not know if it’s just me or if everybody else encountering issues with
your site. It seems like some of the written text in your
posts are running off the screen. Can somebody else please provide feedback and let me know if this is happening to them too?
This may be a issue with my internet browser because I’ve had this happen previously.
Appreciate it
I think it’s only in your system, I cross verify on multiple systems its working fine.
