Enabling/installing GD extension? --without-gd

if you are on a Debian based server (such as Ubuntu) you can run the following command:

apt-get install php-gd

Then once it is complete run:

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

This will restart your server and enable GD in PHP.

If you are on another type of system you will need to use something else (like yum install) or compile directly into PHP.

php amazon-ec2 gd

For PHP7.0 use (php7.1-gd, php7.2-gd, php7.3-gd andphp7.4-gd are also available):

sudo apt-get install php7.0-gd

and than restart your webserver.

For PHP8 use:

sudo apt-get install php8.0-gd

php amazon-ec2 gd

Check if in your php.ini file has the following line:

;extension=php_gd2.dll

if exists, change it to

extension=php_gd2.dll

and restart apache

(it works on MAC)
