Hi!


It sounds like you're having trouble installing the ImageMagick library and its PHP extension on XAMPP in Ubuntu. Here’s an easy way to fix it step by step:

1. Install Required Packages:
   Open the terminal and run:
   sudo apt update
   sudo apt install imagemagick php-pear php-dev libmagickwand-dev -y
   
   
2. Install the Imagick PHP Extension:
   Use this command to install the extension via PECL:
   sudo pecl install imagick
   
   
3. Enable the Extension:
   Add imagick to PHP by running:
   echo "extension=imagick.so" | sudo tee -a /opt/lampp/etc/php.ini
   
   
4. Restart XAMPP:
   Restart XAMPP to apply changes:
   sudo /opt/lampp/lampp restart
   
   
5. Check Installation:
   Verify Imagick is installed by running:
   php -m | grep imagick
   

If you still see errors, try reinstalling ImageMagick with this command to ensure all dependencies are correct:

sudo apt install imagemagick libmagickwand-dev -y


Let me know if this helps
