I need to enable GD support on PHP 7.2 in a Ubuntu 18.04 installation and I've found this solution on the web:
sudo apt-get install php7.2-gd
Since I'm not an expert and I'm worried about the already running configuration files, I have to ask if this command
or
This command will install the GD extension only if PHP 7.2 is already installed.
If not, it will also install php7.2-common
since it is a dependency.
On a machine without PHP 7.2:
sudo apt install php7.2-gd
Reading package lists... Done
[...]
The following additional packages will be installed:
php7.2-common
The following NEW packages will be installed:
php7.2-common php7.2-gd
and with PHP 7.2 installed:
sudo apt install php7.2-gd
Reading package lists... Done
[...]
The following NEW packages will be installed:
php7.2-gd
Once installed, the GD config files will be created under /etc/php/7.2/(fpm|cli...)/conf.d
and should be named xx-gd.ini
.
These config files are loaded after your main php.ini
and contain extension specific settings (in your case, GD settings).
