+# php-imagick-aur
+An [AUR] package build for PHP's [imagick] extension.
+
+## Building
+You can of course build this package using [makepkg], but the recommended way
+of building this package is using [Docker].  This can be done like so:
+
+```bash
+docker build --tag php-imagick-aur .
+docker run --rm --volume "$(pwd):/package" php-imagick-aur
+```
+
+Alternatively, using [Fig]:
+
+```bash
+fig run build
+```
+
+This will start create a docker image tagged as php-imagick-aur and build the
+package inside the container.  As a result you should get the built package in
+your current directory.
