Imagick support

[Bionic Rooster]

Imagick support has been removed from PHP 7.4.15 Is it still needed and if so how do I re-enable it?
Thanks,

If you have shell access to your server, you can install the imagick module with the following shell command:

pecl install imagick

If that fails - which it currently does for PHP 8, the long way around is the following string of commands:

git clone https://github.com/Imagick/imagick
cd imagick
phpize && ./configure
make
make install

What OS are you using, and how did you install/upgrade PHP?

To install imagick on CENTOS 7 with PHP 8 installed

1) Login to WHM as root.

2) Open Terminal: WHM -> Server Configuration -> Terminal

# git clone https://github.com/Imagick/imagick
# cd imagick
# /opt/cpanel/ea-php80/root/usr/bin/phpize
# ./configure --with-php-config=/opt/cpanel/ea-php80/root/usr/bin/php-config
# make
# make install
# exit

3) Edit PHP 8 INI: WHM -> Software -> MultiPHP INI Editor -> Editor Mode -> ea-php80
Insert code below and save:

[imagick]
extension = "imagick.so"

4) Restart Apache: WHM -> Restart Services -> HTTP Server (Apache)

5) Reopen Terminal to cleanup install: WHM -> Server Configuration -> Terminal
Remove install directory.

# rm -f -r imagick
# exit

(This will delete the temporary imagick directory including all files and subdirectories.)

6) Verify imagick is now running under PHP 8: Open XenForo AdminCP.
Server Environment Report should now report Imagick Support as "Yes" when running under PHP 8.

AdminCP -> Tools -> PHP Info
Should now contain imagick section when running under PHP 8.

Didn't use this source, but it is a nearly identical install solution.

My solution is a little simpler with a only a single WHM root login required to complete all steps.

A general 'Thanks' to everybody to who's given input on the topic of ImageMagick & PHP8.

After going to PHP 8 I switched over to using GD but the resized images just weren't as sharp as when using ImageMagick. I'm back up & running with ImageMagick.

Is yum installing the latest ImageMagic version 7 or is it still installing version 6?

It's still ver. 6...
