Imagik error on first time LocalWP installation

I installed LocalWP for the first time and as usual Imagik throws an error. Which I also encountered on XAMPP.

This is the error “Warning: Version warning: Imagick was compiled against ImageMagick version 1808 but version 1809 is loaded. Imagick will run but may behave surprisingly in Unknown on line 06.7.1”
How do I resolve this error?
Thanks

Security Reminder
Local does a pretty good job of scrubbing private info from the logs and the errors it produces, however there’s always the possibility that something private can come through. Because these are public forums, always review the screenshots you are sharing to make sure there isn’t private info like passwords being displayed.

Hi @fabrileo

Is that error popping up when you try to open the site or access the admin area?

Is this for a site you’ve imported into Local or a new, blank site that you just created?

Just to chime in, had the same error on Windows 11 on a fresh preferred setup installation.

What I did is I used Add or remove programmes and uninstalled my ImageMagick setup. This cleared the error message and everything seems to work still.

There must be some sort of conflict if you install ImageMagick separately, in my case I was using the 7.1.1 version of the ImageMagick binary.

Thank you @Jii! @fabrileo that could be something worth trying in your case?

I was having this exact same error on Windows 11, and uninstalling ImageMagick finally fixed it. I had recently installed ImageMagick manually/separately on my computer as well.

Thank you so much!
