Installing GD :

For CentOS / RedHat / Fedora :

sudo yum install php-gd

For Debian/ubuntu :

sudo apt-get install php5-gd

Installing freetype :

For CentOS / RedHat / Fedora :

sudo yum install freetype*

For Debian/ubuntu :

sudo apt-get install freetype*

Don't forget to restart apache after that (if you are using apache):

CentOS / RedHat / Fedora : 

sudo /etc/init.d/httpd restart

Or

sudo service httpd restart

Debian/ubuntu :

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Or

sudo service apache2 restart

For CentOS: When installing php-gd you need to specify the version. I fixed it by running: sudo yum install php55-gd
