 * Hi Clayton,
 * To install ImageMagick run the following commands:
 * > sudo apt-get install imagemagick
    > sudo apt-get install php-imagick
 * If you run PHP as FPM service, then the last step is:
    > sudo service php7.0-
   fpm restart
 * The first command will install ImageMagick itself. The second will install the
   PHP extension. The last command restarts the PHP service.
 * The plugin doesn’t modify the original image for 2 reasons:
 * 1. The original image is rarely downloaded during normal HTTP session. It is 
   the thumbnails that are downloaded often.
 * 2. We assume that you’ll compress the original image anyway (for example using
   Photoshop), so there is no point in further compression.
 * Cheers,
