How to enable GD?

I want to put a captcha in a checkout for a site of mine, but GD isnt enabled on my server. How do i install it onto my server? I have webmin which i believe i can do it from there.


Operating system: Ubuntu Linux 6.06.1
Webmin version 1.330

 

sudo apt-get install GD

or use imagemagick

sudo apt-get install imagemagick

 

Not really sure how to use those commands...

i type "-get install GD" and it gives me:

And if i do "sudo apt-get install GD" or "apt-get install GD" it says:

 

Are you on a home computer or a remote server? Chances are GD is installed already if you are on a remote server that a company has set up for you.


check php.ini file whether the "extension=php_gd2" is enabled. In php.ini ifle, there is one line related to gd extension.

 

Remote server. and the GD isnt installed. I just downloaded gd-2.0.35.tar.gz and uploaded to the server, now when i go and do "sudo apt-get install GD" i get:

Only question.. how do i continue?

Oh, and i found that command when searching google.

 

yes u continue however, it will do php5 so I hope that is what u have running.

 

When i go to PHP Configuration in the webmin it shows "/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini" so does that mean php5 is installed?

And how do i continue? i tryed 'y', '[y]', continue, but none work

 

that just means that you have a version of php installed. Not necessarily php5. TO continue you just hit y and then press enter

 

i put y and get:

bash: y: command not found


I put yes, it loads for a good minute and then its just a white screen with nothing on it.

Just checked and PHP 5.1.2 is installed on my server.

 

ok u said u downloaded the file

then u untar it and then run the installer that comes with it. Most of the time u can do it by ./configure make make install.
