php error: Class 'Imagick' not found

Question

I am getting the error "Class 'Imagick' not found". Somehow I need to make this library accessible to php. I am using Php 5.2.6 on Fedora 8. my php_info has no mention of ImageMagick.

I have tried: yum install ImageMagick and restarted apache, which didn't work.

I also added extension=imagick.ext to my php.ini file and restarted apache, which didn't work.

Did you search for a image magick php extension ? I imagine that you need something between the C library & your PHP class. — Vinzius, Sep 24 '10 at 20:19

For all to those having problems with this i did this tutorial:

How to install Imagemagick and Php module Imagick on ubuntu?

i did this 7 simple steps:

Update libraries, and packages

apt-get update

Remove obsolete things

apt-get autoremove

For the libraries of ImageMagick

apt-get install libmagickwand-dev

for the core class Imagick

apt-get install imagemagick

For create the binaries, and conections in beetween

pecl install imagick

Append the extension to your php.ini

echo "extension=imagick.so" >> /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

Restart Apache

service apache2 restart

I found a problem. PHP searches for .so files in a folder called /usr/lib/php5/20100525, and the imagick.so is stored in a folder called /usr/lib/php5/20090626. So you have to copy the file to that folder.

The question as written specifies Fedora. I'd suggest adding something about whether these steps for Ubuntu are also likely to work on Fedora, or which bits might have to be modified. – Assad Ebrahim Feb 28 '13 at 20:23
Bit worried about step 6. Do you really want to clobber php.ini? Or should that be ">>" for appending? – Mark Setchell Feb 05 '14 at 13:01

I had to `apt-get install php5-dev php-pear` in order to complete the steps on Debian Wheezy – juanmf Mar 24 '15 at 22:29

This didn't help with command line imagemagick on Ubuntu. The Ubuntu answer below works. None of the many things listed in this answer helped, seems like it loads every library except the right one! – Henry's Cat Oct 14 '15 at 13:54
For me with php7.0-fpm the following command is enough to install and enable imagick: `sudo apt-get install php-imagick` – Kapitein Witbaard Feb 20 '17 at 10:53

From: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1726074

For RHEL-based i386 distributions:

yum install ImageMagick.i386
yum install ImageMagick-devel.i386
pecl install imagick
echo "extension=imagick.so" > /etc/php.d/imagick.ini
service httpd restart

This may also work on other i386 distributions using yum package manager. For x86_64, just replace .i386 with .x86_64

This is what finally worked for me. I had performed other attemtps which included everything except for the second line. Whatever `yum install ImageMagick-devel.i386` does fixed it for me. – James Apr 14 '15 at 09:14

Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install php5-dev pecl imagemagick libmagickwand-dev
sudo pecl install imagick
sudo apt-get install php5-imagick
sudo service apache2 restart

Some dependencies will probably already be met but excluding the Apache service, that's everything required for PHP to use the Imagick class.

For MAMP running on Mac OSX

Find out the what version of PHP and install the right version via brew

brew install homebrew/php/php56-imagick

Add the extension by modifying the php.ini template in MAMP

Verify the Imagick

On an EC2 at AWS, I did this:

 yum list | grep imagick

Then found a list of ones I could install...

 php -v

told me which version of php I had and thus which version of imagick

yum install php56-pecl-imagick.x86_64

Did the trick. Enjoy!
