GD and ImageMagick are must installed components on your server if you are dealing with images in PHP, and I can’t believe that your application is not using any image processing.
PHP is used to create and manipulate image files in a variety of different image formats, including GIF, PNG, JPEG, WBMP, and XPM with the help of GD. Even more convenient, PHP can output image streams directly to a browser.
ImageMagick is an open source software suite for displaying, converting, and editing raster image files. It can read and write over 100 image file formats.
Lets start with its installation. Here are 10 step to achieve this.
Step : 1
yum install php-gd
.
Step : 2
yum install glib
.
Step : 3
yum install glib2
.
Step : 4
yum install libpng
.
Step : 5
yum install libjpeg
.
Step : 6
yum install libtiff
.
Step : 7
yum install ghostscript
.
Step : 8
yum install freetype
.
Step : 9
yum install ImageMagick
.
Step : 10
yum install ImageMagick-perl
.
That’s all!
Cheers!
