Thumbor is an open-source image-processing service, which can be used for resizing, cropping or filtering images via HTTP API.
In this tutorial, we will go through the steps of installing Thumbor on OpenSUSE.
It is always a good practice to update the package repository before installing any new package. Use the following commands to update the packages and distribution:
sudo zypper update
sudo zypper dist-upgrade
Thumbor requires the following dependencies to be installed on your system:
Use the following command to install these dependencies:
sudo zypper install python3 libjpeg8 libpng16-16 libwebp7 python3-Pillow python3-image python3-requests python3-tornado python3-six python3-pycurl python3-yaml python3-argparse python3-coverage python3-mock python3-nose python3-pip libopenssl-devel libffi-devel libxml2-devel libxslt-devel libwebp-devel libjpeg-devel libpng-devel ImageMagick
Now that all the dependencies are installed, we can proceed with the installation of Thumbor.
We will use pip3 to install the Thumbor package:
sudo pip3 install thumbor
