A command to install this extension on Ubuntu using the APT package manager would be: sudo apt-get install php-imagick which will install the extension. We cannot provided instruction for how to install extensions as it depends by distribution.

It says "PHP >= 5.1.3 and ImageMagick >= 6.2.4 is required.", hence I should be able to assume that, if I have those, I have all that is needed. Not so. I followed the generic installation instructions at https://www.php.net/manual/en/install.pecl.phpize.php and I got the error: error: not found. Please provide a path to MagickWand-config or Wand-config program. I had to google it to find out the answer on serverfault.com that I needed to install these: sudo apt-get install libmagickwand-dev libmagickcore-dev This should have been in the Requirements page. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=79456&edit=1
