- PEAR - The PEAR Installer
- =========================
- Installing the PEAR Installer.
- You should install PEAR on a local development machine first. Installing
- PEAR on a remote production machine should only be done after you are
- familiar with PEAR and have tested code using PEAR on your development
- machine.
- There are two methods of installing PEAR
- - PEAR bundled in PHP
- - go-pear
- We will first examine how to install PEAR that is bundled with PHP.
- Microsoft Windows
- =================
- If you are running PHP 5.2.0 or newer, simply download and
- run the windows installer (.msi) and PEAR can be automatically
- installed.
- Otherwise, for older PHP versions, download the .zip of windows,
- there is a script included with your PHP distribution that is called
- "go-pear". You must open a command box in order to run it. Click
- "start" then click "Run..." and type "cmd.exe" to open a command box.
- Use "cd" to change directory to the location of PHP where you unzipped it,
- and run the go-pear command.
- Unix
- ====
- When compiling PHP from source, you simply need to include the
- --with-pear directive on the "./configure" command. This is "on"
- by default in most PHP versions, but it doesn't hurt to list it
- explicitly. You should also consider enabling the zlib extension via
- --enable-zlib, so that the PEAR installer will be able to handle gzipped
- files (i.e. smaller package files for faster downloads). Later, when you
- run "make install" to install PHP itself, part of the process will be
- prompts that ask you where you want PEAR to be installed.
- go-pear
- =======
- For users who cannot perform the above steps, or who wish to obtain the
- latest PEAR with a slightly higher risk of failure, use go-pear. go-pear
- is obtained by downloading http://pear.php.net/go-pear and saving it as go-pear.php.
- After downloading, simply run "php go-pear.php" or open it in a web browser
- (windows only) to download and install PEAR.
- You can always ask general installation questions on pear-general@lists.php.net,
- a public mailing list devoted to support for PEAR packages and installation-
- related issues.
- Happy PHPing, we hope PEAR will be a great tool for your development work!
