Hi there @SteveEGL,

If you are on an Ubuntu server you could do that by running the following command:

sudo apt install php-gd

After that, you would need to restart your webserver:

In case that you are using Apache run:

sudo systemctl restart apache2

In case that you are using Nginx run:

sudo systemctl restart nginx

Regards,
Bobby

This worked:
{
“require”: {
“ext-gd”: “*”
}
}
That would be configured in my composer.json file. As they use Heroku build packs typically composer is the recommend route for anything PHP.
