Hi there,

Once you’ve made the change to the composer.json file, did you also run composer update to update your lock file too?

Besides that, the composer.json looks correct.

Best,

Bobby

Hi @saif0909,

If you are using a standard Droplet, you can install the GD library with yum or apt. What PHP version you need to install the GD library for?
