How to Solve this Error

I already Installed GD using Following comment. sudo apt-get install php5-gd and also Apache Server Restarted. My Laravel Version is 5.3 and Ubuntu Version is 14.04

For php-8, just locate your php.ini file and uncomment the line extension=gd
Below is a picture guide for those using Xampp and Windows

Step 1: Open php.ini or locate it in your machine (C:/xampp/php/php.ini)

Step 2: Uncomment the line extension=gd by removing the semicolon

Step 3: Save your file and restart your services

If you are working in PHP version 5.* then you have to install

sudo apt-get install php5-gd

And if you are working in PHP version 7.* then you have to install

sudo apt-get install php7.0-gd

Hope it will work...

And if you are working in PHP version 7.2 then you have to install

sudo apt-get install php7.2-gd... it worked for me

It may not be enabled for php-cli, you can enable like this;

sudo phpenmod gd

UPDATE

I guess, you are using ppa:ondrej php package (5.6), which is confusing you with default ubuntu 14.04 php package (5.5.9).

To install php 5.6 gd library from ppa:ondrej, you should use:

sudo apt-get install php5.6-gd

Rob · Answer 7 · 2020-04-18T10:50:17.047

Before installing the missing dependency, you need to check which version of PHP is installed on your system.

php -v
PHP 7.2.10-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 (cli) (built: Sep 13 2018 13:45:02) ( NTS )

In this case it's php7.2. apt search php7.2 returns all the available PHP extensions.

The solution is quite simple.

In your php.ini, just uncomment the line extension=php_gd2.dll (or .so extension for unix systems.)

Hope it helps.

As of Composer 2.0 on Arch, I use: --ignore-platform-req=ext-gd

Eg:

php composer install -n --ignore-platform-req=ext-gd

Eg: (to ignore multiple requirements)

php composer install -n --ignore-platform-req=ext-gd --ignore-platform-req=ext-ldap

Ignoring Composer requirements may be necessary because Composer may return false warnings on dependencies that are already properly installed and enabled, consider this Arch forum article:

I have installed php-gd and uncommeted extension=gd.so in /etc/php/php.ini as the wiki says

Thanks for this answer on a related Question, How to always use ignore-platform-reqs flag when running composer?

Good answer. This will get you going. Thanks @Jesse Steele. So many answers here and none explain WHY? Because CLI and web server may be using different `php.ini` files! Different extensions are enabled. You rarely need GD for command line tasks so it's not in that `php.ini`. Also, if you are using the Docker-based container for Composer, you could be running Composer under a completely different version of PHP. Just ignore the reqs as Jesse says. – mcarson Nov 16 '21 at 19:29
