How do i know if php imagick is installed?

Download

Linux Binary Release • Mac OS X Binary Release • iOS Binary Release • Windows Binary Release

You can install ImageMagick from source. However, if you don't have a proper development environment or if you're anxious to get started, download a ready-to-run Linux or Windows executable. Before you download, you may want to review recent changes to the ImageMagick distribution.

ImageMagick source and binary distributions are available from a variety of FTP and Web mirrors around the world.

Linux Binary Release

These are the Linux variations that we support. If your system is not on the list, try installing from source. Although ImageMagick runs fine on a single core computer, it automagically runs in parallel on multi-core systems reducing run times considerably.

Verify its message digest.

ImageMagick RPM's are self-installing. Simply type the following command and you're ready to start using ImageMagick:


    $
    rpm -Uvh ImageMagick-7.1.0-50.x86_64.rpm

You'll need the libraries as well:


    $
    rpm -Uvh ImageMagick-libs-7.1.0-50.x86_64.rpm

Note, if there are missing dependencies, install them from the EPEL repo.

For other systems, create (or choose) a directory to install the package into and change to that directory, for example:

cd $HOME

Next, extract the contents of the package. For example:

tar xvzf ImageMagick.tar.gz

Set the MAGICK_HOME environment variable to the path where you extracted the ImageMagick files. For example:


    $
    export MAGICK_HOME="$HOME/ImageMagick-7.1.0"

If the bin subdirectory of the extracted package is not already in your executable search path, add it to your PATH environment variable. For example:

export PATH="$MAGICK_HOME/bin:$PATH

On Linux and Solaris machines add $MAGICK_HOME/lib to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:}$MAGICK_HOME/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Finally, to verify ImageMagick is working properly, type the following on the command line:

magick logo: logo.gif
identify logo.gif
display logo.gif

Congratulations, you have a working ImageMagick distribution under Linux or Linux and you are ready to use ImageMagick to convert, compose, or edit your images or perhaps you'll want to use one of the Application Program Interfaces for C, C++, Perl, and others.

Mac OS X Binary Release

We recommend Homebrew which provides pre-built binaries for Mac (some users prefer MacPorts). Download HomeBrew and type:

brew install imagemagick

ImageMagick depends on Ghostscript fonts. To install them, type:

brew install ghostscript

The brew command downloads and installs ImageMagick with many of its delegate libraries (e.g. JPEG, PNG, Freetype, etc). Homebrew no longer allows configurable builds; if you need different compile options (e.g. librsvg support), you can download the ImageMagick Mac OS X distribution we provide:

Create (or choose) a directory to install the package into and change to that directory, for example:

cd $HOME

Next, extract the contents of the package. For example:

tar xvzf ImageMagick-x86_64-apple-darwin20.1.0.tar.gz

Set the MAGICK_HOME environment variable to the path where you extracted the ImageMagick files. For example:


    $
    export MAGICK_HOME="$HOME/ImageMagick-7.1.0"

If the bin subdirectory of the extracted package is not already in your executable search path, add it to your PATH environment variable. For example:

export PATH="$MAGICK_HOME/bin:$PATH"

Set the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable:

export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="$MAGICK_HOME/lib/"

Finally, to verify ImageMagick is working properly, type the following on the command line:

magick logo: logo.gif
identify logo.gif
display logo.gif

Note, the display program requires the X11 server available on your Mac OS X installation DVD. Once that is installed, you will also need to set export DISPLAY=:0.

The best way to deal with all the exports is to put them at the end of your .profile file

Congratulations, you have a working ImageMagick distribution under Mac OS X and you are ready to use ImageMagick to convert, compose, or edit your images or perhaps you'll want to use one of the Application Program Interfaces for C, C++, Perl, and others.

iOS Binary Release

~Claudio provides iOS builds of ImageMagick.

Download iOS Distribution

You can download the iOS distribution directly from ImageMagick's repository.

There are always 2 packages for the compiled ImageMagick:

  • iOSMagick-VERSION-libs.zip
  • iOSMagick-VERSION.zip

The first one includes headers and compiled libraries that have been used to compile ImageMagick. Most users would need this one.

ImageMagick compiling script for iOS OS and iOS Simulator

To run the script:

./imagemagick_compile.sh VERSION

where VERSION is the version of ImageMagick you want to compile (i.e.: 7.1.0-50, svn, ...)

This script compiles ImageMagick as a static library to be included in iOS projects and adds support for

  • png
  • jpeg
  • tiff

Upon successful compilation a folder called IMPORT_ME is created on your ~/Desktop. You can import it into your Xcode project.

Xcode project settings

After including everything into Xcode please also make sure to have these settings (Build tab of the project information):

  • Other Linker Flags: -lMagickCore-Q16 -lMagickWand-Q16 -ljpeg -lpng -lbz2 -lz
  • Header Search Paths: $(SRCROOT) - make it Recursive
  • Library Search Paths: $(SRCROOT) - make it Recursive

On the lower left click on the small-wheel and select: Add User-Defined Setting

  • Key: OTHER_CFLAGS
  • Value: -Dmacintosh=1

Sample project

A sample project is available for download. It is not updated too often, but it does give an idea of all the settings and some ways to play around with ImageMagick in an iOS application.

Windows Binary Release

ImageMagick runs on Windows 11/10 (x86 , x64 & arm64), Windows 8/7 (x86 & x64), Windows Vista with Service Pack 2 (x86 & x64), Windows Server 2019/2016/2012 (x86 & x64), Windows Server 2008 with Service Pack 2 (x86 & x64), and Windows Server 2008 R2 (x64).

The amount of memory can be an important factor, especially if you intend to work on large images. A minimum of 512 MB of RAM is recommended, but the more RAM the better. Although ImageMagick runs well on a single core computer, it automagically runs in parallel on multi-core systems reducing run times considerably.

The Windows version of ImageMagick is self-installing. Simply click on the appropriate version below and it will launch itself and ask you a few installation questions. Versions with Q8 in the name are 8 bits-per-pixel component (e.g. 8-bit red, 8-bit green, etc.), whereas, Q16 in the filename are 16 bits-per-pixel component. A Q16 version permits you to read or write 16-bit images without losing precision but requires twice as much resources as the Q8 version. Versions with dll in the filename include ImageMagick libraries as dynamic link libraries. Unless you have a Windows 32-bit OS, we recommend this version of ImageMagick for 64-bit Windows:

Or choose from these alternate Windows binary distributions:

To verify ImageMagick is working properly, type the following in a Command Prompt window:

magick logo: logo.gif
magick identify logo.gif
magick logo.gif win:

If you have any problems, you likely need vcomp120.dll. To install it, download Visual C++ Redistributable Package.

Note, use a double quote (") rather than a single quote (') for the ImageMagick command line under Windows:

magick "e:/myimages/image.png" "e:/myimages/image.jpg"

Use two double quotes for VBScript scripts:

Set objShell = wscript.createobject("wscript.shell")
objShell.Exec("magick ""e:/myimages/image.png"" ""e:/myimages/image.jpg""")

Congratulations, you have a working ImageMagick distribution under Windows and you are ready to use ImageMagick to convert, compose, or edit your images or perhaps you'll want to use one of the Application Program Interfaces for C, C++, Perl, and others.

How do I enable Imagick PHP?

To enable Imagick for your website, go to your Site Tools -> Dev -> PHP Manager. Click the PHP Extensions tab and find the entry for the “imagick” extension in the list that appears. Then click the Change value button (pencil icon), select the On radio button for Status and save the changes.

Where is Imagick installed?

By default, ImageMagick is installs binaries in /../usr/local/bin , libraries in /../usr/local/lib , header files in /../usr/local/include and documentation in /../usr/local/share . You can specify an alternative installation prefix other than /../usr/local by giving configure the option --prefix=PATH .

Is Imagick included in PHP?

Imagick is a PHP extension to create and modify images using the ImageMagick library.

How do I know if I have Imagick installed in WHM?

In order to test if the extension is active, you can do so by creating an info. php file. Open it in a browser and look for the ImageMagick extension - if it works it should be in this list. Installing ImageMagick is a routine task for WHM system administrators.
