You can also skip these steps if you don't require image hosting. **NOTE: Lemmy-ui will still allow users to attempt uploading images even if pict-rs is not configured, in this situation, the upload will fail and users will receive technical error messages.**
 
 Pict-rs requires the `magick` command which comes with Imagemagick version 7, but Ubuntu 20.04 only comes with Imagemagick 6. So you need to install that command manually, eg from the [official website](https://imagemagick.org/script/download.php#linux).
