Installing vips extension

The following should work:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install php-dev libvips-dev libvips-tools vips
sudo pecl install vips
vips --version

Otherwise, follow the instructions on the vips library github page

Don't forget to install required packages before running ./configure:

sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev pkg-config build-essential libexpat1-dev libjpeg-dev libpng-dev libwebp-dev gobject-introspection libgs-dev

sudo pecl install vips

– And add the following to the relevant php.ini:

extension=vips

If you don't have pear yet:

sudo apt install php-pear php7.4-dev phpize

(or extension=vips.so if you are in older PHP)

The vips extension is btw also on github:
