Find Orientation of an image captured by a digital camera or mobile / cell phone

Download exiftool tar file from http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/ and extract it. Now run these commands.
First change directory.
cd Image-ExifTool-9.78/
Run these commands one by one.

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

To find the orientation of a camera image run command after installation :

exiftool Orientation -n "/path/of/camera_image.jpg"
Do not use downloaded image, make sure it is clicked by digital camera.

Note : Orientation means the correct position of the image with respect to the camera button when it was clicked.
