Question

I want to install imagick extension for PHP. But i get error 'phpize' error when installing

I know php-devel package contains phpize for compiling/creating modules/extensions. I don't want to install apache. I am running a LEMP on CentOS 6.4

How do i proceed? or install phpize without apache and reinstalling/configuring php

Answer 1

as root, execute the following command

yum install php-devel

Then try installing the imageMagick extension again

Answer 2

Install the php-devel package, it's included in there
