laravel 8 install Imagick for PHP and Apache on Windows 10

Question

I have done all steps properly to install imagick on my PC, yet am getting error: " You need to install the imagick extension to use this back end ", while trying to convert QRcode into PNG format. Am using Xampp for Apache.

Here is my code:

<div class="modal-body">
    <div class="container" style="text-align: center;">
        <!-- generate function from simple-qr code package -->
        <!-- {{!! QrCode::size(250)->generate($row->link); !!}} -->
        <img src="data:image/png;base64, {!! base64_encode(QrCode::format('png')->size(100)->generate($row->link)) !!} "> 
    </div>
    <div class="codesource-link" style="text-align: center;">
        <a href="https://https://codesource.io/">Download</a>
    </div>

This image proves it:

Am not sure there might be some hidden steps am missing here maybe, it would be great if you offer me your help.

Answer 1

I have already solved it. I added apache\bin in PATH and rebooted the computer. Everything worked fine since.
