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,

Hi @saif0909,
You may not have it installed.
Check if installed:
$ php -m | grep gd
Install PHP-GD Library:
$ sudo apt-get install php-gd
another version:
$ sudo apt-get install php[version]-gd
Restart your webserver:
Apache
$ sudo service apache2 restart
Nginx
$ sudo service nginx restart
Hope it helps you, - Sergio Turpín
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?
