Monitoring if someone has found solution, I have same problem. Would be good if there was a tutorial how to install it for Herd.

[PrasshantChavan]

Hey @mpociot,
It's a humble request please find out the solution or if it is bug then please fix it or add a feature like installing extensions in specific PHP versions through laravel herd.
Because our working projects are broken because of this issue.
Otherwise, laravel herd is great invention.

Thank you.

In addition to installing the imagemagick PHP extension, you will also need to install and download imagemagick itself: https://stackoverflow.com/a/44259058

I had the same problem and it's working in Herd now. I had to install the exe:
https://www.imagemagick.org/script/download.php#windows

and add the DLLs and update php.ini in C:\Users{my_username}.config\herd\bin\php83

Have you set any environment variable in windows?

[msucevan]

Hi @mpociot, did you have any update on it? Really crucial, because some of my colleagues cannot use some projects with the current version Herd on Windows.

Ask them to try the steps in my post above #711 (comment)
