Thanks @rostockahoi, this saved me a ton of Googling and messing about - done in 20 seconds!

Word. Very helpful for us amateur CLIs.

You can maybe add sudo apt install php7.2-dev, it's necessary for the command "phpize" in your script bash.
Thanks u for helpful !

Thank you.

Hi there, will the same steps work for php 7.4? By changing the PHP 7.2 reference to PHP 7.4?

Yes this should work. Additionally you would want to check the imagick version since the gist is some kind of old. I‘ll test this next week.

Thanks for the reply. I'll spin up a forge server and test it out as soon as possible.
