PHP GD (Image Manipulation Library) is required but not installed

Hi, just installed xampp with PHP 8, and installed GRAV into htdocs > grav-folder, getting this when opening in localhost:

All else is fine, how do I resolve this issue?
Thanks

Hi David,
Grav is currently based on php 7.x , I did try to run it on 8 and it did have "quirks",
have you also checked that xamp has enable has the php GD2 library enabled.

check to see if the the GD2 dll --> php_gd2.dll is enabled as an extension in the php.ini.

Maybe check on phpinfo and see if the extentsion is loaded, as a start point :)

Hi Spamhater,
Thanks for this. I unistalled xampp php8 and installed xampp php7.
All's ok now, opens straight into the admin area, no error messages.
Thanks

Hello i have the same issue, even after I installed PHP 7. How do I resolve this?

it's your server, not grav.

Hi, running into same problem.
Lightsail Amazon_Linux_2 with PHP7.x and Permissions.
But gd install is missing.
bin/gpm works.
how to overcome???

not very usefull.
are you able to help??

@stefanjanssen,

But gd install is missing.

Have you tried installing GD?

I have no experience with Amazon but found these kind of commands when Googling for Amazon php-gd:

sudo yum install php-gd

or

php --version
// the answer is something in the form PHP X.Y.Z
sudo yum install phpXY-gd

bin/gpm works.

A few hours earlier you created the post Error grav running on aws lightsail. Does this post mean you have Grav running at the moment (apart from the GD error)? If so, would you mind creating a reply to your post with the answer to your own question? And then mark your reply as "Solution"?
