Install Imagemagick / Imagick for PHP on Ubuntu

Posted on July 7, 2008

No problem if you want to install imagemagick on your server, Ubuntu makes this very easy for you with only a few simple commands.

  • Make sure u have pear install ( ’sudo apt-get install php-pear’ )
  • Then run: sudo apt-get install imagemagick
  • And then: sudo pecl install imagick
    **if you get an error which looks like this: configure: error: Cannot locate configuration program Wand-config then no problem, simply run the following command: sudo apt-get install libmagick9-dev
    Now re-run sudo pecl install imagick

All sorted? Good, now simply add extension=imagick.so to your php.ini and your done.
