Install intervention/image Package

The best way to install Intervention Image is quickly and easily with Composer.

To install the most recent version, run the following command.

composer require intervention/image

Intervention Image has optional support for Laravel and comes with a Service Provider and Facades for easy integration. The vendor/autoload.php is included by Laravel, so you don’t have to require or autoload manually. Just see the instructions below.

After you have installed Intervention Image, open your Laravel config file config/app.php and add the following lines.

In the $providers array add the service providers for this package.

Intervention Image has optional support for Laravel and comes with a Service Provider and Facades for easy integration. The vendor/autoload.php is included by Laravel, so you don’t have to require or autoload manually. Just see the instructions below.

After you have installed Intervention Image, open your Laravel config file config/app.php and add the following lines.

In the $providers array add the service providers for this package.

Intervention\Image\ImageServiceProvider::class

Add the facade of this package to the $aliases array.

'Image' => Intervention\Image\Facades\Image::class

Now the Image Class will be auto-loaded by Laravel.

Configuration

By default Intervention Image uses PHP’s GD library extension to process all images. If you want to switch to Imagick, you can pull a configuration file into your application by running one of the following artisan command.

Publish configuration in Laravel

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Intervention\Image\ImageServiceProviderLaravelRecent"

Publish configuration in Laravel <= 4

php artisan config:publish intervention/image

In recent Laravel applications the configuration file is copied to config/image.php, in older Laravel 4 applications you will find the file at app/config/packages/intervention/image/config.php. With this copy you can alter the image driver settings for you application locally.
