Install PEAR on Windows

“The PHP Extension and Application Repository (PEAR) is a repository of PHP software code.
“

To install PEAR you have to need to build first a webserver (WAMP). We will use de Apache sever with PHP and MYSQL for Windows 7.

System Requirements

  1. Apache 2.2
  2. PHP 5.2.17 or later 
  3. MYSQL-essential-5.1.58-win32 or later

Our experience shows that the installed software packages must match. Otherwise you will not get a working server.

Install

To install this software you have to go to pear page at Getting and installing the PEAR package manager and download to your computer. This should be stored at your computer where PHP is installed. Run  "php go-pear.phar".

Save go-pear.php to your C:/PHP drive and run php go-pear.phar:

  • C:\PHP>php go-pear.phar
    Are you installing a system-wide PEAR or a local copy?
    (system|local) [system] : local
    Please confirm local copy by typing 'yes' : yes
  • Open your php.ini and check of include_path de pear directory contains:
    include_path = ".;c:\php\pear"
