How to Install ImageMagick for EA-PHP

Issue

Customer request command for native (ea-php) ImageMagick installation.

Environment

• cPanel
• CloudLinux

Solution

1.  Find the binaries for PECL for all versions of PHP that you have installed:

   find /opt/cpanel/ -iname pecl | grep bin

2. Run this command for each version of EA-PHP that needs to make use of the extension:

   /opt/cpanel/ea-php70/root/usr/bin/pecl install imagick

3.  On CloudLinux servers, CageFS needs to be updated after installing ImageMagick for EA-PHP. This is best done inside of a screen session:

   screen -S updateCageFS
   cagefsctl -u

4. If you are using LiteSpeed or the LSAPI handler with mod_lsapi, you may also need to restart detached PHP processes before you can make use of the extension. The following article outlines how this is done:
