How can you see it is installed? – Manama

Answer 1

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.

Download PEAR

curl -O https://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.

2. Type 1 and press return.
3. Enter: /usr/local/pear
4. Type 4 and press return.
5. Enter: /usr/local/bin
6. Press return

Verify PEAR

You should be able to type:

pear version

If you don't get the file, try to use http instead of https. – Kempis

A small hint: You should also be in a directory with write permissions. For example in /Users/username/ – Amalee

Thanks for this. When I get to 6, I'm returned to the same prompt for the set of 1-12 options in some kind of loop. I've noted @codiga's point and am working from within /Users/{username}/. – Children

Managed to get somewhere with installing pecl via tobschall.de/2019/10/03/pear-on-catalina. – Children

sudo php -d detect_unicode=0 go-pear.phar might not work or result in unknown command error. in that case try php -d detect_unicode=0 go-pear.phar – Evangel
