Avatar Upload Issues

Hello everyone. I have managed to get my BuddyPress website up and running, however I am having problems with Avatars. When I click on a file to upload, it says

“Upload Failed! Error was: The GD image library is not installed.”

Can anyone help me in getting this sorted? Many thanks.

It means exactly what it says in error. Contact your webhost re: “The GD image library is not installed.”

If you are on your localhost, you would need to add/activate GD library. You have to resolve GD library addition or activation issue in whatever package you are using for your installation – xampp wamp mamp lamp etc.
