Ok folks, find an easy way to install ImageMagick on a shared server which offers a solution to those that do not have ImageMagick installed on the root and cannot get it installed.

Installs fine and runs through Oakgallery as long as config files points to the local location of ImageMagick
Hopes this helps others
