Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Hello fellow editors! I am interested in installing mw:Extension:PdfHandler on my mediawiki.
Problem is that one of the prerequisites is Ghostscript: https://www.ghostscript.com/download/gsdnld.html I am not sure how to install this on my mediawiki. Any assistance would be most helpful. Peace!
Can you provide us with more information about your wiki? Is it public? Can you link to it?
Is it on a system that you control?
Thank you in advance Mark :)

It looks like you are hosting this on NameCheap's shared hosting. You should work with them to make GhostScript available for your use.
Namecheap shared servers run CloudLinux 6.x Operating System.
here are some instructions: https://ghostscript.com/doc/8.54/Install.htm
This is the reply:
Unfortunately, we need to inform you that this script may not be installed on the Shared accounts since it requires root access.
It is only possible to install it using either VPS package or Dedicated server.
