    The GD library needs to be compiled into your version of php. You can't simply "install" it.

    Can't say much more without knowing your setup: what operating system are you running, how did you originally install php, etc.

    If you are running on windows then all you need to do is go into your php.ini file and uncomment (remove the # from) the line

    #extension=php_gd2.dll

    Then restart your apache server and bobs your aunty.

    Linux detailed instructions here
