Solution

  • I assume you're using XAMP or similar on Windows OS because you have a C:/[..] path in the error message.

    You need to enable the PHP gd extension (used for image processing) to get rid of the error.

    Gd not installed

    Search for your php.ini configuration file, look for "extension=gd2" and uncomment it.

    The path for XAMP is <xampp_dir>/php/php.ini.

    Eventually there are multiple php.ini files i.e. one for the PHP CLI and another one used by your webserver. Enable the extension in all of them.

    Restart your webserver (likely apache) afterwards.
