installing pear packages on xampp

Filed under: xampp — rudyegenias @ 12:58 pm

Once you’re on PHP development on windows you can’t escape xampp. Only if you toke the stressful path of installing the system one by one i.e. install apache, then php, then mysql, then perl.. then you have a good choice/stand that you know how to configure the system itself.

One thing about xampplite is that it doesn’t have pear installed.

For me? I toke the simple steps. I am lazy.. that’s what programmers are(not generally).

First, go to your xampp installation directory/folder and navigate to the php directory. For me it’s x:\xamplite\php

x:

cd \xampplite\php

pear install <package-name>

There you have it, that should do the job installing the package you want. You may have to list the package to know what pear packages are already installed

pear list

    I believe you would have to login as root or as Super user discover the channel and then perform the above mentioned commands

  4. Hey Driss, if you are in linux it is always easier (not really) and better to install all packages one by one, but I suppose that you can download pear-start(or something like that), and then include it in php include_path, inside php.ini.
    bye
