[Tutorial] How to install ImageMagick

[leokhoa]

Installing ImageMagick is really pain on other systems. However, it is trivial with Laragon if you follow these below steps (works with both Apache & Nginx):

1. Download links:
   PHP Extension (PECL):
   https://pecl.php.net/package/imagick/3.4.3/windows
   Imagick Binaries & Dlls:
   http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/deps

*IMPORTANT: Choose the right packages (version, x86 or x64, VC, Thread Safe (ts) or Non Thread Safe (nts)).
Even your OS is 64-bit, you should depend on the suffix -x86 or -x64 of the PHP version to select the correct ones.

To be more specific: if you are using php-7.1.7-Win32-VC14-x64 you should download:*
PECL:
http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/releases/imagick/3.4.3/php_imagick-3.4.3-7.1-ts-vc14-x64.zip
ImageMagick Binaries & Dlls:
http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/deps/ImageMagick-6.9.3-7-vc14-x64.zip

After downloading the right packages, the next steps are easy.

2. Extract:

• PECL: Extract php_imagick-3.4.3-7.1-ts-vc14-x64.zip to a tmp dir, then put just php_imagick.dll to PHP Extension dir (Menu > PHP > dir:ext)
• Imagick Binaries & Dlls: Extract ImageMagick-6.9.3-7-vc14-x64.zip to a tmp dir, then put all dlls in bin (CORE_RL_*.dll, FILTER_analyze_.dll, IM_MOD_RL_*.dll, ImageMagickObject.dll) to PHP dir where the php7ts.dll is located (Menu > PHP > Version > dir:php-7.1.7-Win32-VC14-x64)

3. Enable:
   Just click Menu > PHP > Extensions > imagick

4. Restart Apache/Nginx

That's all forks.

Test: Creating a PHP Logo
Ref: http://php.net/manual/en/imagick.examples-1.php
imagick.php

<?php
/* Set width and height in proportion of genuine PHP logo */
$width = 400;
$height = 210;

/* Create an Imagick object with transparent canvas */
$img = new Imagick();
$img->newImage($width, $height, new ImagickPixel('transparent'));

/* New ImagickDraw instance for ellipse draw */
$draw = new ImagickDraw();
/* Set purple fill color for ellipse */
$draw->setFillColor('#777bb4');
/* Set ellipse dimensions */
$draw->ellipse($width / 2, $height / 2, $width / 2, $height / 2, 0, 360);
/* Draw ellipse onto the canvas */
$img->drawImage($draw);

/* Reset fill color from purple to black for text (note: we are reusing ImagickDraw object) */
$draw->setFillColor('black');
/* Set stroke border to white color */
$draw->setStrokeColor('white');
/* Set stroke border thickness */
$draw->setStrokeWidth(2);
/* Set font kerning (negative value means that letters are closer to each other) */
$draw->setTextKerning(-8);
/* Set font and font size used in PHP logo */
#$draw->setFont('Handel Gothic.ttf');
$draw->setFontSize(150);
/* Center text horizontally and vertically */
$draw->setGravity(Imagick::GRAVITY_CENTER);

/* Add center "php" with Y offset of -10 to canvas (inside ellipse) */
$img->annotateImage($draw, 0, -10, 0, 'php');
$img->setImageFormat('png');

/* Set appropriate header for PNG and output the image */
header('Content-Type: image/png');
echo $img;

Result:

@leokhoa

Thanks for the tutorial. I have it up and running, but I can't seen to access it via the command line. I did a little research and it seems that the solution may be to set the $PATH for imagemagick.

Any idea how to do that?

Thanks,

Moshe

@MoreThinking: Instead of extracting ImageMagick-6.9.3-7-vc14-x86.zip to a tmp dir, you can extract to laragon\usr\bin and add it to PATH.

I am getting The program can't start because CORE_RL_wand_.dll is missing from your computer.

It's already in C:\laragon\bin\php\php-7.0.12-Win32-VC14-x86 where my PHP is installed.

I used your links since they should be using the same versions.

@leokhoa said in [Tutorial] How to install Imagick:

After downloading the right packages, the next steps are easy.

Extract:

PECL: Extract php_imagick-3.4.3rc1-7.0-ts-vc14-x86.zip to a tmp dir, then put just php_imagick.dll to PHP Extension dir (Menu > PHP > dir:ext)
Imagick Binaries & Dlls: Extract ImageMagick-6.9.3-7-vc14-x86.zip to a tmp dir, then put all dlls in bin (CORE_RL_.dll, FILTER_analyze_.dll, IM_MOD_RL_.dll, ImageMagickObject.dll) to PHP dir (Menu > PHP > Version > dir:php-xxx-xxx)

Enable:
Just click Menu > PHP > Extensions > php_imagick.dll

Step 3 php should I copy the folder or folder ext?

[leokhoa]

@sajjadkazemi10 : I copied to PHP dir (no ext) and it worked. So, try it.

@leokhoa
I used my laragon 2.2.2 full
I did the same thing
But the following error shows
Rather than point the following message dll files to the list with the same message

@sajjadkazemi10: Please provide me:

1. A picture of your PHP dir
2. Which Imagick package did you download?
   If you use PHP-7.1.5 nts x86, the package should be:
   http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/releases/imagick/3.4.3RC1/php_imagick-3.4.3rc1-7.1-nts-vc14-x86.zip

[sajjadkazemi10]

@leokhoa
The message appears only

@sajjadkazemi10 : pls answer my questions properly

[sajjadkazemi10]

This post is deleted!

[sajjadkazemi10]

@leokhoa I email the photos to you

[leokhoa]

@sajjadkazemi10 : You still don't answer this:
Which Imagick package did you download?
If you use PHP-7.1.5 nts x86, the package should be:
http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/releases/imagick/3.4.3RC1/php_imagick-3.4.3rc1-7.1-nts-vc14-x86.zip

I guess you download a wrong package.

[sajjadkazemi10]

@leokhoa I downloaded the package

[sajjadkazemi10]

@leokhoa Through software TeamViewer 12 look?

[sajjadkazemi10]

@leokhoa

File php7ts.dll inside the folder php now only message I got was shown
warinig: php startup: unable to load dynamic library 'c:/laragon/bin/php/php-7.1.5-nts-win32-vc14-x86/ext\phar.so' - the specified module colud not br found. i unknown on line 0

[RhRU]

Can you explain this part a little bit more?
"Imagick Binaries & Dlls: Extract ImageMagick-6.9.3-7-vc14-x86.zip to a tmp dir, then put all dlls in bin (CORE_RL_.dll, FILTER_analyze_.dll, IM_MOD_RL_.dll, ImageMagickObject.dll) to PHP dir (Menu > PHP > Version > dir:php-xxx-xxx)"

Mostly the folder location.
Would it be something like C:/laragon/bin/php/php-7.1.1-Win32-VC14-x86/ here or there is another folder?
