How to install Image Magick for MAMP (Pro) on Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Question

I\'ve been searching for a way to install Image Magick on my Mountain Lion setup (where I use MAMP Pro). I did find this article, but it isn\'t specific to ML. Also found a coup

Answer 1

As was pointed out in erwinheiser's comment, MAMP 3 now comes with imagemagick pre-installed. I checked MAMP's User Guide (PDF) and found this:

The ImageMagick PHP module is included by default, but you must enable it inside the php.ini template file. Remove the ‘;’ from the following line.

;extension=imagick.so

And how do you find and change the (right) php.ini file for MAMP Pro?

• From MAMP's menu choose File › Edit Template › PHP › [the latest version]
  • or use the keyboard shortcut: ⌘4
• Make the edit. (Imagick was was at line 542 in mine.)
• Save and close the file.
• MAMP asks if you want to restart the servers now, choose yes.

And you're done!
