Install Imagick 3.4.0 on PHP 7.0 server (Laravel Forge)

imagick-3.4.0-PHP7-forge.sh

#!/bin/bash
if [ "$EUID" -ne 0 ]
  then echo "Please run as root"
  exit
fi

apt-get install pkg-config libmagickwand-dev -y
cd /tmp
wget https://pecl.php.net/get/imagick-3.4.0.tgz
tar xvzf imagick-3.4.0.tgz
cd imagick-3.4.0
phpize
./configure
make install
rm -rf /tmp/imagick-3.4.0*
echo extension=imagick.so >> /etc/php/7.0/cli/php.ini
echo extension=imagick.so >> /etc/php/7.0/fpm/php.ini
service php7.0-fpm restart
service nginx restart

Since there's now a Imagick package for PHP 7.0, you'll probably want to try installing it through apt-get (run as root):

apt-get update
apt-get install php-imagick
service php7.0-fpm restart
service nginx restart

This gist worked for me. Thank you.

Where do these commands actually place the imagick.so file itself? What directory?

I made an updated gist for PHP 7.1.

Thanks
Worked good for me with PHP 5.6.30-0+deb8u1 (until line 16 - did it manually)
