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!

it is important to install correct version of Visual C++ redistributable Package.

for ImageMagick-6.5.8-10-Q16-windows-dll.exe -

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

... 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.

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
