Yes, and from the Fedora distribution

I did pecl install in my CloudFormation EC2 userdata as follows, and is able to install WordPress.

dnf install -q -y php-devel php-pear gcc
pear update-channels
pecl update-channels

dnf install -q -y ImageMagick-devel ImageMagick
/usr/bin/yes 'no' | sudo pecl install -f --configureoptions 'with-imagick="autodetect"' imagick
echo 'extension=imagick.so' > /etc/php.d/25-imagick.ini

systemctl restart php-fpm

Edit: Seems that PECL install does not work with PHP 8.3, please refer to re:Post article How do I compile PHP extensions on Amazon Linux 2023?

Edit : run the above commands as root

[micrology]

Thanks - that seems to work. Some caveats:

• All commands need to be run by root (or with sudo)
• I needed to add a file that I called /etc/php.d/20-imagick.ini containing the one line extension=imagick
• After installation, run sudo systemctl restart php-fpm

It isn’t provided – you have to create it yourself (this, and what to put in it, is explained in my comment to the Package request).

I see the issue is closed but was there a resolution on this? Can I add the packages to .ebextensions/install_dependancies.config? What are they called? Thanks!

@limmike
Are these two lines not duplicates? The second just performing autoanswer to prompts?

pecl install --configureoptions 'with-imagick="autodetect"' imagick
/usr/bin/yes 'no' | sudo pecl install -f --configureoptions 'with-imagick="autodetect"' imagick

But thanks for the solution. Very helpful!

@rwhirn good catch! updated

btw, PECL install for PHP 8.3 does not work for me. You can refer to my re:Post article How do I compile PHP extensions on Amazon Linux 2023? for Imagick and other extensions.
