Install PEAR with wampserver

votes

I am trying to install pear in wampserver. It doesn't come with a go-pear.bat.

I download the .phar file from pear.php.net/go-pear and run php go-pear.phar.

It just keeps looping over the config where I set all the paths.

What gives?

Lets assume you are running PHP5.3.24 and wamp is installed on the C: drive, if not change the folder names accordingly.

Get go-pear.phar from http://pear.php.net/go-pear.phar and copy it to the wamp\bin\php\php5.3.24 folder

Do all this from a windows command window

cd C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.24
md pear
PATH=%PATH%;C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.24
php go-pear.phar

When you get asked this question

Below is a suggested file layout for your new PEAR installation.  To
change individual locations, type the number in front of the
directory.  Type 'all' to change all of them or simply press Enter to
accept these locations.

 1. Installation base ($prefix)                   : D:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.24
 2. Temporary directory for processing            : D:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.24\tmp
 3. Temporary directory for downloads             : D:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.24\tmp
 4. Binaries directory                            : D:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.24
 5. PHP code directory ($php_dir)                 : D:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.24\pear
 6. Documentation directory                       : D:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.24\docs
 7. Data directory                                : D:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.24\data
 8. User-modifiable configuration files directory : D:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.24\cfg
 9. Public Web Files directory                    : D:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.24\www
10. Tests directory                               : D:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.24\tests
11. Name of configuration file                    : D:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.24\pear.ini
12. Path to CLI php.exe                           : \wamp\bin\php\php5.3.24

1-12, 'all' or Enter to continue: 12

To get it to proceed with the install you have to just PRESS the ENTER key

Its as simple as that

I faced the same issue, if you scroll a bit back, you should see an error, probably you didn't fill the php.exe folder properly (number 12). Just type 12, press enter and navigate to you PHP installation folder (like C:/php). Then, after hitting enter, installation should start.

Type local after running php go-pear.phar.

Then go with what Pedro Lobito said.

If the list shows again, just press Enter and installation should start.
