Can't install on PHP 7.4.4

[cavo789]

Hello

I wanted to take a look at your tool but I couldn't install it even though I have PHP 7.4 and I have activated the GD extension in my php.ini.

Can you confirm that ibis can be installed with 7.4.4?

Thanks

A workaround is to use cgr (a safe alternative to composer global require)

composer global require consolidation/cgr
cgr global require themsaid/ibis
mkdir mybook
cd mybook
ibis init

im getting this issue on PHP 7.4.23 but the above fix didnt work for me.

Install or enable PHP's gd extension. - themsaid/ibis v0.1.4 requires mpdf/mpdf ^8.0 -> satisfiable by mpdf/mpdf[v8.0.0, ..., v8.0.12]. - Root composer.json requires themsaid/ibis ^0.1.4 -> satisfiable by themsaid/ibis[v0.1.4].

@ajthinking I followed your instruction on using cgr instead of composer (as composer already was throwing installation error), and got the following installation failure.

cc: @themsaid

Command

cgr global require themsaid/ibis

Output :fire: :fire: :fire:

  You can also run `php --ini` inside terminal to see which files are used by PHP in CLI mode.

@sugatoray did you try enabling it in php.ini?

mpdf/mpdf v8.0.9 requires ext-gd * -> the requested PHP extension gd is missing from your system.

Also not sure if this is actually working. Don't remember if I actually got it working :monocle_face:

[sugatoray]

@ajthinking Is there a dockerfile defined (or, a docker-image available) with the setup for ibis? That would be much more convenient than having to figure out what is not working.
