Install Imagemagick / Imagick for PHP on Ubuntu
July 7th, 2008No 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.
