Imagemagick Brew Installation with PHP Module in MAC Os X

ImageMagick Brew installation with PHP Module in Mac OS X

Your ImageMagick installation is not enough. You also need the Imagick package (possibly called php72-imagick or similar for home brew).

Imagick doesn't do the work itself, it is a native PHP extension for creating and modifying images using the ImageMagick API.

Try to search for the exact name of the package via brew search imagick.

How do I install imagemagick with homebrew?

The quickest fix for me was doing the following:

cd /usr/local
git reset --hard FETCH_HEAD

Then I retried brew install imagemagick and it correctly pulled the package from the new mirror, instead of adamv.

If that does not work, ensure that /Library/Caches/Homebrew does not contain any imagemagick files or folders. Delete them if it does.

Homebrew: install new formula php72-imagick

It all changed back in April 2018 I think. Homebrew no longer acts as the package manager for PHP, so all the php-imagick and php-redis and php-other-extension stuff has gone and you are now supposed to manage PHP packages using pecl like everyone else does.

So, how to get Imagick under PHP? Note that Imagick and ImageMagick are two different things:

ImageMagick is the entire ImageMagick suite
Imagick is just the PHP binding

Here are the steps - if anyone knows better or any improvements, let me know via comment and I will update.

Step 1 - Delete anything likely to conflict

Before starting, it is best to clean up all the stuff that is broken or unneeded. Do as many of these as you are comfortable with:

brew rm php php@5.6 php@7.0 php@7.1
brew rm imagemagick

Step 2 - Update Xcode command line tools and get build packages

Make sure you have installed Xcode command-line tools with:

xcode-select --install

Go to AppStore and click on Updates and update any Xcode related packages - especially if you have recently upgraded macOS.

Install homebrew building tools:

brew install pkg-config

Step 3 - Install ImageMagick

Check what ImageMagick options you want with:

brew options imagemagick

I like to use:

brew install imagemagick --with-x11 --with-librsvg --with-openexr --with-pango
hash -r

but you may like vanilla install:

brew install imagemagick
hash -r

Step 4 - Install homebrew PHP

Next, install the homebrew version of PHP with:

brew install php
hash -r                    # Update bash's internal paths

Now, critically ensure you are running the correct homebrew PHP:

type php

If that tells you:

/usr/local/...anything.../php

you are running homebrew PHP and you can go to the next step.

If it tells you:

/usr/bin/php

you are running the Apple-supplied PHP. If that is what you want to run, ignore my entire answer which is predicated on you wanting to use homebrew PHP. If you get this answer but want to run homebrew PHP, your PATH is set incorrectly. You need to put /usr/local/bin before /usr/bin to pick up all homebrew packages ahead of Apple programs, i.e.

export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH

This step gives you pecl - the PHP Package Manager - as well, since it is part of homebrew PHP.

Step 5 - Install Imagick

Now you can install Imagick with pecl:

pecl install imagick

If anything goes wrong, here are some related questions and answers...

Q1. How can I find where my php.ini file is?

Try any of these commands:

pecl config-get php_ini                  # I get "/usr/local/etc/php/7.2/php.ini"
brew info php
php -i | grep "Loaded Configuration"     # I get "Loaded Configuration File => /usr/local/etc/php/7.2/php.ini"

Q2. How can I find where pecl installs modules?

pecl config-get ext_dir                 # I get "/usr/local/lib/php/pecl/20170718"

Q3. How can I tell what PHP modules are loaded?

php -m

Q4. Why can't PHP find my module?

First locate your modules directory using Q2. I like to put that in the clipboard with:

pecl config-get ext_dir | pbcopy

Then edit the php.ini file from Q1. I use vi, so I would do:

vi "$(pecl config-get php_ini)"

Then find the line in that file that looks like this:

; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside.
; http://php.net/extension-dir

and, then (using the contents of your paste buffer) make the following line look like this (no semi-colon at the start):

extension_dir = "/usr/local/lib/php/pecl/XXXXXX"

on my machine XXXXXX is 20170718. If you get this right, any and all modules you install via pecl will be visible to your homebrew PHP.

Q5. How can I see all my PHP settings?

Check PHP configuration, versions and settings with:

php -i

How to set up phpimagik in Mac OS X?

Yes, use homebrew. Go to the homebrew website and install it with the one line script there. - I don't want to paste it here because you need the latest and greatest line at the time of following these instructions.

Then, when you have homebrew installed, do these steps to get ImageMagick installed and running under PHP and also with Apache.

# Check all of homebrew is working - fix any errors before proceeding
brew doctor

# Get latest versions of everything if you already had "homebrew" installed
# Probably not necessary if you just installed "homebrew" in previous step
brew update && brew upgrade

# Find latest PHP version - using "brew search"
newestPHP=$(brew search php | grep -E "php[0-9]+$" | sort | tail -1)
echo $newestPHP

e.g. php56

# Install latest PHP and corresponding ImageMagick
brew install ${newestPHP} ${newestPHP}-imagick

e.g. brew install php56 php56-imagick

# Check that the installation worked - you MUST use "/usr/local/bin/php"
/usr/local/bin/php -i | grep -i imag

Output

Additional .ini files parsed => /usr/local/etc/php/5.6/conf.d/ext-imagick.ini

That completes the installation if you only want to run ImageMagick under PHP outside your website.

The remaining steps are only necessary if you want to run PHP and ImageMagick under Apache inside your website.

# Check if PHP module loaded in Apache config file - /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
grep "^LoadModule.*php5_module.*libphp.*" /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
Check it matches, or if not present add a line like this
LoadModule php5_module /usr/local/Cellar/php56/5.6.6/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so

# Restart Apache
sudo apachectl restart

PHP Imagemagick installation - XAMPP and macosx

If you don't have Brew yet then get it from here https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew

Once setup you can use brew search magick to see the available packages.
