Installing ImageMagic on Centos 6

Install ImageMagick and ImageMagick-devel using yum because we need all the dependency installed:

yum install ImageMagick
yum install ImageMagick-devel

Then continue to install Imagick php module (Edit: If you are running php 5.4.x, then you need to install imagick 3.1.0RC2, 3.0.1 will give errors, find it here:

cd /root
wget http://pecl.php.net/get/imagick-3.0.1.tgz
tar zxf imagick-3.0.1.tgz
cd imagick-3.0.1
phpize
./configure
make
make install

Find the loaded php.ini configuration using command :

php --ini

Now we have to add the extension to the php.ini file.

extension=imagick.so

Then restart Apache :

/etc/init.d/httpd restart
