Install ImageMagick / Imagick 3.4.4 on PHP 7.4 server (Laravel Forge)

imagick3.4.4-PHP7.4-forge.sh

#!/bin/bash
if [ "$EUID" -ne 0 ]
  then echo "Please run as root"
  exit
fi

apt-get install pkg-config libmagickwand-dev -y
cd /tmp
wget https://pecl.php.net/get/imagick-3.4.4.tgz
tar xvzf imagick-3.4.4.tgz
cd imagick-3.4.4
phpize
./configure
make install
rm -rf /tmp/imagick-3.4.4*
echo extension=imagick.so >> /etc/php/7.4/cli/php.ini
echo extension=imagick.so >> /etc/php/7.4/fpm/php.ini
service php7.4-fpm restart
service nginx restart

Install libwebp on your server and then, try reinstalling ImageMagick, or compile it yourself. To do so, first uninstall ImageMagick and then, use my tool for example: https://github.com/SoftCreatR/imei

Hi, thanks for this guide.
I see this message with the command "php -v":

PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'imagick.so' (tried: /usr/lib/php/20190902/imagick.so (/usr/lib/php/20190902/imagick.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory), /usr/lib/php/20190902/imagick.so.so (/usr/lib/php/20190902/imagick.so.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)) in Unknown on line 0

How to fix it?

Make sure to compile imagick with the corresponding phpize version.

I use

sudo apt install php7.4-imagick

I use

sudo apt install php7.4-imagick

Uhm... you can only use that if the version of imagick and php7.4-imagick your OS provides supports webp!
