Using imagick with Valet?

I used home brew. https://brew.sh/

I already tried brew install imagick, it installed but do I need to tell php to use it somehow? It still didn't seem to be working.

You might have to enable it in the php.ini file or one that it is loading. You can determine if it is loaded in your php by going to the command line and typing php -i | grep Imagick if that command returns any information about Imagick then it is loaded. If not you are not loading php with Imagick included.

You are missing the php module in this case.

brew install pkg-config

Then run something like

pecl install imagick

Then you can check if you have it, by doing:

php -m | grep imagick

Took me a while to figure out what pecl was and to get that installed. Unfortunately once pecl is installed it's not as simple as running pecl install imagick, getting all kinds of other issues:

MagickWand-config... Doesn't exist, etc.

Post the error that you are getting if you can. running the pecl install should provide a make error if there is an error making it. Although the pecl should have been installed with the PHP that you are running. What version of PHP are you running? It is the brew installed PHP version?

You should be able to get most of that information from

pecl version

It will output something like:

@jkenyon I'm running the homebrew version of php.

When I run sudo pecl install imagick I get:

@Swaz Hmmm, have you tried to run the pecl command with out sudo? Though that shouldn't really make a difference in this case. I ran it with out it. Try and reinstall the brew install imagemagick and then try the pecl install with out sudo.

Also try running pecl channel-update pecl.php.net before too

@swaz Did you happen to get this installed and working?

@jkenyon I wasn't having any luck, I just tried again and it worked! Though I seriously have no idea what I did differently this time haha. Thanks for all your help!

haha no worries! It happens, it use to be just a brew command, however, since they updated the core it removed the php extensions like that so now you have to use the pecl command.

Having just installed image magick successfully, I just wanted to say that you may need to run

valet restart

before the image magick module starts working correctly.

Bumping.

1. Install homebrew

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

if installation ask password many times run following command:

• sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local

then Run following command:

• brew install imagemagick
• brew install pkg-config(also if it's already done)
• pecl install imagick
• valet restart

I got this error running pecl install imagick

ERROR: failed to mkdir /usr/local/Cellar/php/7.3.6/pecl/20180731

I fixed it with:

pecl config-get ext_dir | pbcopy

mkdir -p {paste clipboard value}

thanks a lot for the save bud!

If someone has this issue, I recommend following this answer in stackoverflow:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50060021/homebrew-install-new-formula-php72-imagick/50529784#50529784

I tried everything else and nothing was working, but this did, I still don't know why.

This seems to do the trick on Valet.

brew install imagemagick
pecl install imagick

@zecka You're a legend, I bet I've come back to your solution at least 4 times. Thanks!!
