Help with Imagemaick

[dothejon]

I can't figure out how to enable Imagemagick PECL extension.. I downloaded the file however i don't know where to put it in to install it.

What distribution are you running? Any panel?

Generally speaking for generic PECL it's:

pecl install imagick

But this can vary depending upon any panel you're running. If you're using a repo like remi you can sometimes get pecl-built packages straight from yum.

im so confused isn't it something you run through ftp like filezilla?

Nope, it's a PHP module.

 

[dothejon]

and how do i do that? I never touch php n stuff like that before

You need access to WHM/cPanel on your server.

Unless you're hosting is a VPS or dedicated, you most likely will not be able to install this yourself.

Ask your host.

The standard package installers usually install Imagemagick 6.x which is incompatible with PHP7.2+ so depending on the PHP version being used, it may be required to perform a more manual install of imagemagick. It was not fun getting it working, at least for me.

Ask you host to do it for you.

For Linux Web Hosting packages, 1&1 IONOS Performance hosting and Managed Dedicated Server
ImageMagick is a collection of applications for creating, editing and converting image files. In Web Hosting-packages and on 1&1 IONOS Managed Servers ImageMagick is available in form of the application convert under /usr/bin/convert already preinstalled. Use the convert command to convert, scale, blur, crop, and more file formats for images. Access to convert is via scripts or direct shell commands.

Since you have a fairly beginner level of knowledge for server configuration, I'd suggest hiring someone to assist. There are great folks here who provide such services.
