How do I install and enable Ghostscript module in PHP?

[sachyya]

I am Devilbox for WordPress local development. With WP 4.7, PDF preview image generation is supported but it does not work in Devilbox. Through some research(), I found that
ImageMagick
Imagick
Ghostscript
should be enabled on the server.

Now I am stuck on how to install and enable Ghostscript on Devilobx or say the right way to enable external modules.

So far I have resolved it by installing the ghostscript manually by SSHing into the container using sudo apt-get install ghostscript.

But is there any better way or 'devilbox way' to install it?

inside the rebuild script, you can add:
docker-compose exec php 'apt-get update && apt-get install ghostscript'

Then every time you rebuild the containers, it will install ghostcript.

You might be able to do it in a cfg/startup/ script, but that would run every time the container starts, not just when it is created.
