After 2 hours of looking for help from different documentation & sites, I found out none of them are complete solution. So, I summary my instruction here:
1) yum install php-devel
2) cd /usr
3) wget http://pear.php.net/go-pear
4) php go-pear
5) See the following line in /etc/php.ini [include_path=".:/usr/PEAR"]
6) pecl install imagick
7) Add the following line in /etc/php.ini [extension=imagick.so]
8) service httpd restart
Hopefully, I can save other engineer effort & time.... Good luck!

install php via "Homebrew", then:
$ brew install php53-imagick
and then:
reload php-fpm (or restart apache)
Simple way to install ImageMagick on your linux machine(RHEL5,Cent OS 5)
#yum install ImageMagick*
#pecl install imagick sometimes you may have ask to install gcc compiler. if so execute #yum install gcc*
added the extension on php.ini
#echo "extension=imagick.so" >> /etc/php.ini
#service httpd restart
it is important to install correct version of Visual C++ redistributable Package.
for ImageMagick-6.5.8-10-Q16-windows-dll.exe -
Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9b2da534-3e03-4391-8a4d-074b9f2bc1bf
I too had the error "Please provide a path to MagickWand-config or Wand-config program." when installing on linux (in this case CentOS aka Red Hat).
The simple solution was to ensure "ImageMagick-devel" and NOT "ImageMagick" package was in place. Next comes the standard command:
pecl install imagick
Lastly, and as per the otherwise flawless instructions, edit php.ini to include:
extension=imagick.so
Recently I had to install ImageMagick on FreeBSD. The following commands achieved this without a problem.
cd /usr/ports/graphics/ImageMagick-nox11/
make install clean
service apache22 stop
cd /usr/ports/graphics/pecl-imagick/
make install clean
service apache22 start
NOTE: For some of the package dependencies you will be prompted to select optional add-ons. I left all the config options untouched except for those which provided integration with the X11 system. Those once I disabled.
Windows installation is a bit more tricky since "pecl install imagick" does NOT work properly.
Here's how I installed it:
1/ Install ImageMagick software http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php#windows
2/ Download pecl-5.2-dev.zip (choose the version relevant to your PHP) from http://snaps.php.net/
3/ Copy php_imagick.dll from the archive you've downloaded to your PHP extention folder.
4/ Add the following line to php.ini (in the exntentions section):
extension=php_imagick.dll
5/ Restart your server
6/ Try the example script to see all went well
Good luck :)
I have php 5.3.1 running on apache on windows (with xampp)
to get this working i installed the appropriate image magick from here http://imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php#windows
Then i needed the php_imagick.dll for vc6 (because im on apache not iis).
After a bit of searching i found someone hosting it here :

Hope this helps ^^
Steps to Install ImageMagick on UwAmp for Windows:
as of March 31, 2016
Detailed guide for newbies like me.
Took a long time to get it to work.
I initially followed:
http://php .net/manual/en/imagick.installation.php
but after installation, PHPInfo under imagick shows
number of supported formats = 0
So I followed these steps, clobbered from various sources
to get it to work.
1. Open PHPInfo and check:
Architecture = x86 or x64
Thread Safety = yes or no
2. Download ImageMagick from:
http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/deps/
In my case I downloaded: ImageMagick-6.9.3-7-vc11-x86.zip
because the Architecture under PHPInfo is x86
as for vc11 or vc14
search google for "visual c++ 11 runtime" or
"visual c++ 14 runtime" and install it
3. Unzip and copy all dlls from the bin subfolder to the
Apache bin directory. It's a bunch of CORE_RL_*.dll
and IM_MOD_RL_*.dll plus a few other dlls.
In my case, I installed UwAmp in C:\UwAmp, so:
(from zip) bin/*.dll --> C:\UwAmp\bin\apache\bin
I have spent many hours trying to get Imagick work on Windows. Finally I have succeeded!

... continued
4. Goto:
http://pecl.php.net/package/imagick
as of today, latest is 3.4.1 so I went to:
http://pecl.php.net/package/imagick/3.4.1/windows
My PHP version is: 5.6.18, and Thread Safety is Yes from
Step #1, so I downloaded:
5.6 Thread Safe (TS) x86
I got: php_imagick-3.4.1-5.6-ts-vc11-x86.zip
5. Unzip and copy "php_imagick.dll" to the php extension folder:
In my case:
php_imagick.dll --> C:\UwAmp\bin\php\php-5.6.18\ext
Note: this ZIP also contains dlls which other guides says
to extract to the extension folder of apache.
NO NEED TO DO IT. Step #3 has taken care of it.
6. Edit "php.ini" and add at the very end (could be
anywhere I suppose):
[Imagick]
extension=php_imagick.dll
For super newbies: click the edit button in the UwAmp UI,
"php_uwamp.ini" will open and edit it. It will be copied to
the correct php.ini when UwAmp is restarted. I had
trouble at first since there are several php*.ini scattered
all over.
7. Restart Apache
8. Check PHPInfo
scroll to section (or find): imagick
number of supported formats: 234
If there is no "imagick" section or "supported format" is 0,
something went wrong.
Hope this helps.
For installing imagick in Windows do the following:
1. Download and install the ImageMagick API from http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php#windows. (In my case, I installed the lastest version: ImageMagick-6.9.2-10-Q16-x64-dll.)
2. Go to http://pecl.php.net/package/imagick and choose the version of imagick that best suits your PHP version. (Because I had PHP 5.4 I downloaded "php_imagick-3.3.0-5.4-ts-vc9-x86.zip".
3. Extract the contents of the zip file and go to the directory where the files were extracted.
4. Copy the php_imagick.dll in yout PHP's ext folder.
5. All the other dll that you extracted from the zip file can go into apache's bin directory. In my case, I have apache 2.2 and the bin directory is at: C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\bin.
6. Activate the extention in your PHP.ini file by adding the following:
[Imagick]
extension: "C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\ext\php_imagick.dll"
7. Restart apache
8. Sit back and relax
Sins I tried around a lot and searched the net to find a working dll for ImageMagic and PHP5.4, with bad results I at last found one working.
There is a guy (Mikko) that has a blog and he wrote about this and and have compiled a working solution. You find his blog about this here: http://valokuva.org/?m=201211.
Hope that this helps others as well.
imagick 2.2.2 might have a problem loading in PHP 5.3 by giving following error at start-up:
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '.../imagick.so' - .../imagick.so: undefined symbol: XStringListToTextProperty in Unknown on line 0
in this case, revert to PHP 5.2.8 and imagick-2.2.0 will work just fine.
For anyone attempting to install the binaries on windows xp, don't waste your time. You'll need to install this on windows 2003 Server (and up) or Windows Vista since there are dependences (msvcr80.dll) that will require it.
This works for me
http://refreshless.com/blog/imagick-pecl-imagemagick-windows/
If you have used lampp first copy imagick.so from /usr/lib/php5/20060613+lfs/imagick.so path and paste it to php lib.(/opt/lampp/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613)
Then edit your php.ini and add extension=imagick.so
