 * Hi,
 * If available, the CLI is better and slightly faster.

 * Hi, Thank you for the response.
    It shows a red cross in front of the cli path.
   How can I fix it?

 * It’s not that important. It will fully function with the PHP module.
 * If you manage your hosting environment you can install ImageMagick from the console(
   just a simple search for your OS and you will find help).
 * If you’re in a shared hosting you need to contact your hosting provider because
   then you’re not allowed to manage the server yourself.
