php error: Class 'Imagick' not found

Question

I am getting the error \"Class \'Imagick\' not found\". Somehow I need to make this library accessible to php. I am using Php 5.2.6 on Fedora 8. my php_info has no mention

Answer 1

Install Imagic in PHP7:

sudo apt-get install php-imagick

Answer 2

On an EC2 at AWS, I did this:

 yum list | grep imagick

Then found a list of ones I could install...

 php -v

told me which version of php I had and thus which version of imagick

yum install php56-pecl-imagick.x86_64

Did the trick. Enjoy!
