Introduction
Hello :)
This post is about how to install Imagick (PECL Library), the PECL Library, on OpenBSD, my favorite OS.
Body
Happily, the official package is provided:
# pkg_add pecl73-imagick
The result is:
quirks-3.124 signed on 2019-04-15T12:10:16Z
pecl73-imagick-3.4.3p3: ok
Also, its .ini
file is created automatically:
$ ls /etc/php-7.3.sample/
... imagick.ini ...
Create a symbolic link in order to activate the extension:
# ln -sf /etc/php-7.3.sample/imagick.ini /etc/php-7.3/
Finally, all you have to do is restart the PHP-FPM server:
# rcctl restart php73_fpm
Conclusion
PECL means The "P"HP "E"xtension "C"ommunity "L"ibrary.
Imagick works as interface to ImageMagick, an open-source powerful image manipulator:
Imagick is a native php extension to create and modify images using the ImageMagick API.
This extension requires ImageMagick version 6.5.3-10+ and PHP 5.4.0+.
Thank you for your reading.
Happy computing :)
