Question about ImageMagick/GD???

[bradpaisleyonline]

I was read through the readme file and it says that "You also need either GD 1.xx or 2.xx (2.xx recommended) or ImageMagick installed.  GD normally comes bundled with PHP;ImageMagick must be installed by your webhost."

I had a gallery some time ago and I don't know what GD is, but I also know that I never had ImageMagick installed, just installed Coppermine and went. So I guess I don't know if I need to install ImageMagick or if I have GD...what is GD? Thanks.

Okay I did the whole phpinfo.php thing and I got this:

gd
GD Support    enabled
GD Version    bundled (2.0.34 compatible)
FreeType Support    enabled
FreeType Linkage    with freetype
FreeType Version    2.1.9
GIF Read Support    enabled
GIF Create Support    enabled
JPG Support    enabled
PNG Support    enabled
WBMP Support    enabled
XPM Support    enabled
XBM Support    enabled

--------

So does that mean I'm good to go, I don't need to do anything else but install Coppermine?

There is a section the the FAQ that is named "What's GD and how can I get it?", so why don't you read that up as well?

So I guess I don't know if I need to install ImageMagick or if I have GD...what is GD?

You can't install ImageMagick if you're webhosted, as explained in the FAQ as well.

So does that mean I'm good to go

Yes

I don't need to do anything else but install Coppermine?

Correct
