If PHP was installed by MacPorts, and you selected the ‘pear’variant, then you should already have it located here: /opt/local/bin/pecl (maybe its not in your $PATH?).

If you installed it another way, then you might need to get PEAR installed for your version of PHP and go from there, something you may or may not be able to do without a recompile.

Hi there. Ive been struggling to get Imagick installed for a few days now, im getting the error

sudo: pecl: command not found

How do i install PECL? Not found an easy to understand, clear solution for this, could you help? Im so close, have installed MacPorts and Xcode and ImageMagick, just need the php extension!!

Many thanks in advance!

Yeah, this one was a bit tricky, which is why I blogged about it. I knew I wouldn’t remember for next time.

Cheers,

THANK YOU!! I knew I was close and it had to be something simple, but had no idea where to even start. You’ve saved me hours of troubleshooting.

[...] to work properly. On OS X the easiest way is to install Apache, MySQL and PHP using Macports, then install Imagick through PECL. Don't even bother trying with MAMP or XAMPP. Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment [...]
