PEAR - The PEAR Installer
|
|
|
2 |
=========================
|
|
|
3 |
Installing the PEAR Installer.
|
|
|
4 |
|
|
|
5 |
You should install PEAR on a local development machine first. Installing
|
|
|
6 |
PEAR on a remote production machine should only be done after you are
|
|
|
7 |
familiar with PEAR and have tested code using PEAR on your development
|
|
|
8 |
machine.
|
|
|
9 |
|
|
|
10 |
There are two methods of installing PEAR
|
|
|
11 |
- PEAR bundled in PHP
|
|
|
12 |
- go-pear
|
|
|
13 |
|
|
|
14 |
We will first examine how to install PEAR that is bundled with PHP.

|
|
17 |
=================
|
|
|
18 |
If you are running PHP 5.2.0 or newer, simply download and
|
|
|
19 |
run the windows installer (.msi) and PEAR can be automatically
|
|
|
20 |
installed.
|
|
|
21 |
|
|
|
22 |
Otherwise, for older PHP versions, download the .zip of windows,
|
|
|
23 |
there is a script included with your PHP distribution that is called
|
|
|
24 |
"go-pear". You must open a command box in order to run it. Click
|
|
|
25 |
"start" then click "Run..." and type "cmd.exe" to open a command box.
|
|
|
26 |
Use "cd" to change directory to the location of PHP where you unzipped it,
|
|
|
27 |
and run the go-pear command.
|
|

|
|

Unix
|
|
|
30 |
====
|
|
|
31 |
When compiling PHP from source, you simply need to include the
|
|
|
32 |
--with-pear directive on the "./configure" command. This is "on"
|
|
|
33 |
by default in most PHP versions, but it doesn't hurt to list it
|
|
|
34 |
explicitly. You should also consider enabling the zlib extension via
|
|
|
35 |
--enable-zlib, so that the PEAR installer will be able to handle gzipped
|
|
|
36 |
files (i.e. smaller package files for faster downloads). Later, when you
|
|
|
37 |
run "make install" to install PHP itself, part of the process will be
|
|
|
38 |
prompts that ask you where you want PEAR to be installed.
|
|
|
39 |
|
|
|
40 |
go-pear
|
|
|
41 |
=======
|
|
|
42 |
For users who cannot perform the above steps, or who wish to obtain the
|
|
|
43 |
latest PEAR with a slightly higher risk of failure, use go-pear. go-pear
|
|
|
44 |
is obtained by downloading http://pear.php.net/go-pear and saving it as go-pear.php.
|
|
|
45 |
After downloading, simply run "php go-pear.php" or open it in a web browser
|
|
|
46 |
(windows only) to download and install PEAR.
|
|
|
47 |
|
|
|
48 |
You can always ask general installation questions on pear-general@lists.php.net,
|
|
|
49 |
a public mailing list devoted to support for PEAR packages and installation-
|
|
|
50 |
related issues.
|
|
|

|
|
|
52 |
Happy PHPing, we hope PEAR will be a great tool for your development work!
