Is the installation of ImageMagick library possible for a non-root user in a shared hosting environment?

ImageMagick does not require root to operate. To install it in the 'standard' place, it will.

My suggestion is to find out if your packaging system allows alternate locations for installation. If not, then you may have to compile from source and install it into a location you have permission to write to. You may also have to do similar things with any package which uses ImageMagick.

Only possible if dependencies where also available already. Time for a new host...

I was able to install a software on a restricted shared host using this method, you might be able to adapt it to ImageMagick. Feel free to post the full solution, if you succeed.
