No releases available for package “pecl.php.net/imagick”

Question

First of all, I'm sorry if I'm posting a duplicated question. I know there are a few threads about installing imagick on an local machine. But I really can't find any way to fix my php installation.

I want to install the imagick extension for PHP 8.0 But when I try to install with the pecl install imagick command I get the following error:

No releases available for package "pecl.php.net/imagick"
install failed

I am developing on a Macbook. Have a freshly installed Laravel Valet installation. Installed my PHP 8.0 (with homebrew, via valet) and tried to execute pecl install imagick .

I have re-installed imagick & pkg-config with brew reinstall imagick & brew reinstall pkg-config . In that order. After that, I still get the same report.

I have ran brew doctor but don't think there is anything useful in there that could help me. Only some broken symlinks and Unbrewed header files. If you want I can upload the full output, but someone needs to help/tell me how to upload such a big snippet. Just putting it in this question without formatting seems like a bit too much.

Possible duplicated that didn't help me so far:

• pecl can't find imagick package

Answer 1

For me it solved with sudo pecl install imagick but that might not be the preferred route.
