I have Mac 10.5.8, trying to install PEAR.
I believe at pear.php.net any version of Mac > 10.4 does not include PEAR in it.
Not sure if this is true or not, but when I go to the terminal and type in
pear -V or which pear or pear config-show
I get nothing- no error or messages. I guess I can assume I don't have pear install?
So then I tried in the terminal app:
$ curl http://pear.php.net/go-pear | php
I get the following error message:
-bash: $: command not found
Can someone give me steps to installing PEAR.
Thank you,
Ken
Try MAMP or Zend Server CE, they both come with PEAR.
At the terminal, you just need to type:
curl http://pear.php.net/go-pear > go-pear.php
sudo php -q go-pear.php
Then you'll have to edit your php.ini and change the value of include_path
I followed this page and it worked correctly.

sudo php -d detect_unicode=0 go-pear.phar
Unable to create PHP code directory ($php_dir) /usr/share/pear.
Do I need to change permissions on /usr/share? Current permissions are drwxr-xr-x
The /usr folder is protected.
You can disable SIP, but this is not the best option.
You can select 1 for the "Installation base" and change the directory to
/usr/local
Then it will apply to all other addresses.
Take a look on this other question
https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/237778/cant-write-to-usr-even-with-sudo
From this link: http://jason.pureconcepts.net/2012/10/install-pear-pecl-mac-os-x/
With this instructions, you don't need to disable 'System Integrity Protection'
The following instructions install PEAR and PECL on Mac OS X under /usr/local/. PECL is bundled with PEAR. So this is as simple as installing PEAR on Mac OS X.
PEAR is PHP’s Package Repository and makes it easy to download and install PHP tools like PHPUnit and XDebug. I specifically recommend these two for every PHP developer.
Download PEAR
curl -O http://pear.php.net/go-pear.phar
sudo php -d detect_unicode=0 go-pear.phar
Configure and Install PEAR
You should now be at a prompt to configure PEAR.
Type 1 and press return.
Enter: /usr/local/pear
Type 4 and press return.
Enter: /usr/local/bin
Press return
Verify PEAR. You should be able to type:
pear version
Eventually, if you use any extensions or applications from PEAR, you may need to update PHP’s include path.
I've upgraded to Mountain Lion and installed php5.4 which took a bit of tweaking Mountain Lion change php location
My next issue is if I run pear -v or pecl -v these return
Could not open input file: /usr/lib/php/pear/pearcmd.php
Could not open input file: /usr/lib/php/pear/peclcmd.php
Do I need to change pear and pecl to point to my new php which is installed in /usr/local/php5/bin/
If so how do I do this and will I lose all of my previously installed extensions such as phpunit?
Thanks
I sorted this by installing pear again. After downloading go-pear.phar then running
sudo php -d detect_unicode=0 go-pear.phar
In the install there are options to change directories pear is using. They were already set to the correct locations for my new php such as /usr/local/php5/bin
I then had to add that path to my bash_profile for the pear command to be recognised.
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/php5/bin
To get pecl working again I removed pecl from /usr/bin then symlinked to the pecl in /usr/local/php5/bin
sudo ln -s /usr/local/php5/bin/pecl /usr/bin/pecl
The first package I tried to install was APC and I got the error
Cannot find autoconf. Please check your autoconf installation and the
$PHP_AUTOCONF environment variable. Then, rerun this script.
ERROR: `phpize' failed
This was sorted by following instructions from phpize won't work on Mac OS X Lion I used the homebrew solution
UPDATE: I installed PHPUnit fine then ran phpunit --version
This gave an error of
PHP Warning: require(/usr/lib/php/pear/PHPUnit/Autoload.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/bin/phpunit on line 43
Running which phpunit returned /usr/bin/phpunit
Solved by more symlinking
sudo ln -s /usr/local/php5/bin/phpunit phpunit
On Mavericks there's a file in /usr/lib/php called install-pear-nozlib.phar
Everything worked by just running
sudo php install-pear-nozlib.phar from that directory. And then adding /usr/lib/php/pear to the include path in php.ini
Hope that helps someone
I have this issue with one of my users on my Mac. It works fine with the other. So I guess it could have something to do with installing pear using the other user (as that's what I did).
I have no solution to this, but you could try to install pear again and try to select to install it to system instead of local and see if that works.
Edit: I tried to do this, however pear started to work, but not pecl.
Recently I successfully uninstalled pear using the following command:
$ sudo pear uninstall pear
So I recently reinstalled it, but I botched the installation and I want to start over (once again). This time, when I run the above command, pear gives me this message:
pear/pear not installed
Any suggestions?
PEAR is just a bunch of php scripts. To uninstall it manually just remove /usr/share/php/PEAR (the path can vary on distribs)
Refer to the correct way to install and uninstall pear:
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/installation.getting.php
I am using MAMP for development. I have never been able to get PEAR to work. The MAMP documentation and forums seem not to have the answers. Everybody who asked on the MAMP forum seems to have no replies.
Previously I have developed the systems on MAMP and only used PEAR for mail so I got it working once on the server rather than in MAMP. I want to use more of PEAR now.
Can anybody give me an idiots guide to getting it going. I can access terminal and type command lines, however, I don't really understand what's going on so when things stop or throw errors I have to ask more questions. I have had a go with various things found on the internet but failed so far.
MAMP is version 1.9.5 Mac OS 10.6.7
#Marcelo Rodrigo's answer is great! And I'm glad he included his sources. By following sources of his sources I was able to find the information below.
Install PEAR on MAMP
In order to get PEAR working with MAMP run the following commands. Notice there are commands for MAMP v1.x.x and for newer versions. Find out what version you are running. Also, notice that the PHP versions differ. Make sure the version in the commands below is the one you are actually using. MAMP allows you to change versions. You can check by opening MAMP > Server > PHP.
NOTE:
This may be obvious to some, but you should stop MAMP first. Otherwise you might get some strange errors.
1) Change the directory permissions so you can execute files within them:
MAMP v2.x.x
chmod 774 /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.4/bin/pear
chmod 774 /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.4/bin/php
MAMP v1.x.x
chmod 774 /Applications/MAMP/bin/php5.3/bin/pear
chmod 774 /Applications/MAMP/bin/php5.3/bin/php
2) Setup an alias to avoid typing the whole path.
Every time you want to access pear you have to type "/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5.3/bin/pear". Typing "pear" referes to what is installed on your mac already and not MAMP's install. (This only apply for the current session. For a permanent alias, place the command below in your ~/.bash_profile file. Here is a tutorial on how to do that.)
MAMP v2.x.x
alias mpear="/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.4/bin/pear"
MAMP v1.x.x
alias mpear="/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5.3/bin/pear"
3) Make a link between php5 and php5.3 folders (Not Needed for MAMP v2.x.x):
Pear gets confused about its version because it installs in both php5.3 and php5 directory
When you upgrade pear it will create a new /Application/MAMP/bin/php5 directory and spread files between php5.3 and php5 folders. Use the code below to make a link between the two file so they act as one. More info about "ln" command. Source: #Marcelo Rodrigo's post
ln -s php5.3 php5
4) Check to make sure pear is working:
mpear -V
5) Now upgrade pear:
mpear channel-update pear.php.net
mpear upgrade pear
6) And check again to see if it upgraded pear correctly
mpear -V
Install PHPUnit
You do not need to install PHPUnit. If mpear -V worked for you, then you are done installing PEAR on MAMP. For my development environment I needed PHPUnit for unit testing, so I figured I would include a tutorial to install PHPUnit now that we have PEAR working. Only do this if you need PHPUnit. If you don't know what it is, you don't need it.
Run the following commands:
1) Install PHPUnit:
NOTE: Below I am using "mpear" which is actually an alias I setup in step 2 above. You could simply use "/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5.3/bin/pear" in its place.
mpear config-set auto_discover 1
mpear install pear.phpunit.de/PHPUnit
Source: http://www.phpunit.de/manual/current/en/installation.html
2) Allow MAMP to use PHPUnit
Link your MAMP's install of phpunit with the default phpunit location. (Doesn't work with Mountain Lion, instead see step 2a)
sudo ln -s /Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/bin/phpunit /usr/local/bin/phpunit
**2a) For Mountain Lion Only - Create a symobolic link between MAMP's php.ini and the php.ini in /etc
sudo ln -s /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.4/conf/php.ini /etc/php.ini
If it says files exists, make a backup of /etc/php.ini and delete it.
3) Make sure it works
phpunit --version

#Marcelo Rodrigo's Answer
If you just want phpunit to work, use the following commands on a fresh copy of MAMP 1.9.5:
cd /Applications/MAMP/bin
ln -s php5.3 php5
php5/bin/pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de
php5/bin/pear channel-discover components.ez.no
php5/bin/pear channel-discover pear.symfony-project.com
php5/bin/pear channel-update pear.php.net
php5/bin/pear upgrade pear
php5/bin/pear install phpunit/PHPUnit
ln -s /Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/bin/phpunit /usr/local/bin/phpunit
phpunit --version
Done.
The above code fixes the following issues:
Bug 1:
pear gets confused about its version because it installs in both php5.3 and php5 directory
Pear updates upgrades and installs from /Applications/MAMP/bin/php5.3/pear, but it will create a new /Application/MAMP/bin/php5 directory and spread files between the php5.3 direct and the new php5 directory and get very confused about what version it is.
Fix:
ln -s php5.3 php5
I think that if you are using PHP 5.2 then using ln -s php5.2 php5 should work equally well but I haven't tested this
Issue 2:
pear is out of date
this is understandable of the MAMP team, the problem really was that it was difficult to do a upgrade because of Bug 1
Source: http://forum.mamp.info/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=11102
I recently found the following link correctly setup my MAMP 2.1.1 running:
PEAR Version: 1.9.4
PHP Version: 5.4.4
Zend Engine Version: 2.4.0
Try:
sudo /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.4/bin/pear config-set auto_discover 1
sudo /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.4/bin/pear install pear.phpunit.de/PHPUnit
To make it available on the command line everywhere you need to create a soft-line to phpunit in your local bin.
sudo ln -s /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.4/bin/phpunit /usr/local/bin/phpunit
Now try:
phpunit --version
Confirm it works try it from here: /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.4/bin/
Confirm the symlink worked. Try it somewhere else like ~/ or /.
If they both worked you are ready to code.

I've been trying to do some PHP work on my snow leopard machine.. but I've found issues when I need to use PEAR packages (as symfony handles its php plugins with PEAR).
I've found some references that state that snow leopard includes PEAR.. but how come I cant find it?!
Could someone confirm this.. if if so, where is my pear?
In OSX Snow Leopard and later pear isn't installed by default. The installer is already available to you though.
sudo php /usr/lib/php/install-pear-nozlib.phar
pear config-set php_ini /private/etc/php.ini
pecl config-set php_ini /private/etc/php.ini
sudo pear upgrade-all
/usr/bin/pear
I ran which pear from the command line.
which pear
/usr/local/bin/pear
if which doesn't work try locate pear which will search your machine, if a result is returned you need to update you .bash_profile (in your home directory) to include pear (normally the parent directory) eg.
export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"
If you can't locate pear on your system, use terminal to get it :
curl http://pear.php.net/go-pear > go-pear.php
sudo php -q go-pear.php
All the options can be left at default except install directory which you need to set. Mine is /usr/local but other locations such as /opt/local will be fine (as long as the path is in your bash profile...
