Deprecated: This guide is now deprecated. You can now install ImageMagick for PHP 5.6,7.0,7.1,7.2,7.3,7.4 from PHP>Install extensions. Follow this instruction http://docs.cyberpanel.net/doku.php?id=php-extensions .

Update on 25th August

ImageMagick is now available in LiteSpeed official repo and can be installed using

yum install lsphpXX-pecl-imagick

Replace XX with PHP version. You can also use the instructions below but they are not needed anymore.

Prerequisites

To install ImageMagick/imagick php extension you need a package called ImageMagic-devel, you can install from yum

yum install ImageMagick-devel -y

You also need php devel package, gcc and make:

yum install lsphp72-devel make gcc

Download imagick

imagick packages are available at https://pecl.php.net/package/imagick

You can download the latest version, current latest version is 3.4.3.

Note: We are installing it for PHP 7.2, process is similar for other php versions.

cd 
wget https://pecl.php.net/get/imagick-3.4.3.tgz
tar zxf imagick-3.4.3.tgz

Installation

cd imagick-3.4.3
/usr/local/lsws/lsphp72/bin/phpize
./configure --with-php-config=/usr/local/lsws/lsphp72/bin/php-config
make
make install

Then open your php.ini file which is located at /usr/local/lsws/lsphp72/etc/php.ini and append following at the end:

extension=/usr/local/lsws/lsphp72/lib64/php/modules/imagick.so

Now restart OpenLiteSpeed:

systemctl restart lsws

I follow the steps exactly and get no error, but the extension does not show up in the list of available extensions in CyberPanel, nor does WordPress make use of it.

Can confirm, it does not work!

HI anyone successfully installed the imagick extension & got it working with WordPress !

@usmannasir can this be added to inbuilt extension install section of cyberpanel in upcoming updates.

CyberPanel

Replace XX with PHP version. I will also update main article and add in the CyberPanel list.

@cloudrider

CyberPanel

In LiteSpeed repo, this package is available for PHP 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3.

I added to CyberPanel PHP Extension installer and pushed the package (works for new installs, others can use the command above and restart LiteSpeed)

Hi @CyberPanel

Can you let me know how I can enable the local webp conversion support with the now included imagick extension.

I was trying to enable webp support with LScache plugin but it was not working, then landed on this github link.

https://github.com/rosell-dk/webp-convert/wiki/Installing-Imagick-extension-with-WebP-support

Any idea how I can enable webp images support for WordPress sites.

One option is to use GraphicsMagick with the WebP Express plugin.
yum install GraphicsMagick

cloudrider

Thanks @jayw

I'll try that out.

Can you please update the guide?
There is currently a libMagickWand.so.5 library error.

Can you write how to solve it in Centos?

You no longer need to do this. You can install it from install php extensions.
