"Make failed" when installing Imagick on MacOS Monterey with M1 chip

I use Laravel Valet. I'm trying to install the Image Magick PHP extension (PHP 7.4). I get as far as this:

pecl install imagick

And I get the error make failed.

I'm on MacOS Monterey with the Apple Silicon M1 chip.

Any tips?

Solution

  • To install imagick using pecl:

    Install imagemagick

    brew install imagemagick

    Then install imagick using pecl.

    pecl install imagick

    Also, I maintain a brew tap shivammathur/extensions you can use instead. It has pre-compiled commonly used PHP extensions.

    Installing imagick on PHP 7.4 using the tap is as simple as:

    brew tap shivammathur/extensions
brew install imagick@7.4
