ext-imagick * -> the requested PHP extension imagick is missing from your system

I have trouble installing devisephp for laravel. I am working on the latest version of homestead with php7. when i do composer update i get the following error.

Problem 1
    - Installation request for devisephp/cms 1.4.* -> satisfiable by devisephp/cms[1.4.0].
    - devisephp/cms 1.4.0 requires ext-imagick * -> the requested PHP extension imagick is missing from your system.

After having this message i installed imagick on my homestead environment added the extension to php.ini in cli and fpm and checked in homestead if imagick is working with a test file. Everything was working perfectly but on running composer update i still get the same error message from above. Does anyone have a clue what the problem can be.

The stange thing is that is kan git clone devisephp its bootstrap version completely working including image handling but when i add another package to laravel i again get the above message.

my solution with PHP8.3 and imagemagick

brew reinstall php brew reinstall pkg-config
brew reinstall imagemagick

sudo pecl uninstall imagick (in this case sudo was the solution)

pecl install imagick

#PHP8.3

In case you are using Mac, here are the steps:

  1. Install Image Magick dependency.

    brew install pkg-config imagemagick

  2. Compile Imagick PHP extension with pecl

    pecl install imagick

  3. Verify the installation.

    php -m | grep -i magic

    You will see imagick.

With the config.platform key in composer.js you can fake dependencies like php versions or extensions (you can't use an asterisk for the extension version, though!) https://getcomposer.org/doc/06-config.md#platform

As a bonus, you can polyfill ext-imagick with this library: https://github.com/calcinai/php-imagick. it's not complete and relies on the command line ImageMagick. So far it works for me.

{
    "require": {
        "calcinai/php-imagick": "dev-master"
    },
    "config": {
      "platform":{
        "ext-imagick": "3.4.4"
        }
    }
}

Please follow these steps

  • sudo apt-get install php-imagick
  • php -m | grep imagick // this should print 'imagick' it means installed correctly
  • sudo service apache2 restart //(if needed)

Try adding:

"ext-imagick": "*",

to your require block in your composer.json like so: 

"license": "MIT",
"require": {
    "ext-imagick": "*",
    ....
}

and run composer update

if you really can't install or don't want that extension to be validated you may skip it by supplying the

--ignore-platform-reqs

flag to your composer command
