Having an issue with php-gd
I inserted this command:
sudo apt-get install php5-curl php5-mcrypt php5-gd php5-common
throughout the process to setup Magento but when I went through Validation, this is what I got:
"PHP Extension gd must be loaded"
When the warning showed up. I tried to install it again using:
sudo apt-get install php5-gd
This was the message that I received:
"Reading package lists... Done E: Unable to locate package"
I Would like some direction on how to fix this Error.

Restarting the webserver after installing php5-gd loads the package.

check. reloading the web server. services such as php-pfm [php5-fpm], fcgi, fastcgi, etc load once and remain in the background. Adding modules does not impact the running copy. It must be restarted to load the module into active use.

Use synaptic package manager for easier installation.
After installing and it still does not work, look at the apache modules, mine is at /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/20-gd.ini
; configuration for php GD module
; priority=20
; extension=gd.so
Even if the module exists and is installed on the system, it is commented out on the module config. Uncomment it, then restart Apache, then you should be fine.

Make sure that avif.dll is in the PATH.

avif.dll is in the php8 directory [where php.exe exists] It is the unmodified extraction from the zip from the php website. This php extraction directory is not declared in the path variable [like many years now] There has been the change between 8.1 alpha1 and alpha2
[2021-06-29 09:11 UTC]
> There has been the change between 8.1 alpha1 and alpha2 8.1.0alpha2 introduced AVIF support, and currently avif.dll is built as dynamic library. There is a PR to build it statically[1], and this is likely to be merged, and then there will be no more avif.dll. But for now, you need to put avif.dll in the PATH. [1]

I added the php distribution directory [N:\Apache\php8] to the systemwide PATH variable and restarted Apache service. GD now loads without problems in 8.1.alpha2 [seen in info.php] Thanks for showing this solution. To avoid this configuration change a final solution should detect the avif.dll automatically in the php distribution directory [or static linking].

The latter is fine, but the former would be pretty unusual, and after all, there are several other DLLs in that folder which would require the same treatment [e.g. sqlite3.dll, libssl-1_1-x64.dll] [which is documented for the respective extensions, e.g. openssl[1]]. Actually, I'm surprised that you haven't faced other issues; either you don't use these extensions, or they used DLLs from another folder. [1]

The 8.1 and master series have been updated to use libavif-0.9.0-1 which has static libraries, so PHP 8.1.0alpha3 will not require avif.dll anymore.
