************************* PEAR - The PEAR Installer ************************* .. image:: https://travis-ci.org/pear/pear-core.svg?branch=stable :target: https://travis-ci.org/pear/pear-core ========================================= What is the PEAR Installer? What is PEAR? ========================================= PEAR is the PHP Extension and Application Repository, found at http://pear.php.net. The **PEAR Installer** is this software, which contains executable files and PHP code that is used to **download and install** PEAR code from pear.php.net. PEAR contains useful **software libraries and applications** such as MDB2 (database abstraction), HTML_QuickForm (HTML forms management), PhpDocumentor (auto-documentation generator), DB_DataObject (Data Access Abstraction), and many hundreds more. Browse all available packages at http://pear.php.net, the list is constantly growing and updating to reflect improvements in the PHP language. .. warning:: Do not run PEAR without installing it - if you downloaded this tarball manually, you MUST install it. Read the instructions in INSTALL prior to use. ============= Documentation ============= Documentation for PEAR can be found at http://pear.php.net/manual/. Installation documentation can be found in the INSTALL file included in this tarball. ===== Tests ===== Run the tests without installation as follows:: $ ./scripts/pear.sh run-tests -r tests You should have the ``Text_Diff`` package installed to get nicer error output. To run the tests with another PHP version, modify ``php_bin`` and set the ``PHP_PEAR_PHP_BIN`` environment variable:: $ pear config-set php_bin /usr/local/bin/php7 $ PHP_PEAR_PHP_BIN=/usr/local/bin/php7 ./scripts/pear.sh run-tests -r tests Happy PHPing, we hope PEAR will be a great tool for your development work! Test dependencies ================= * ``zlib`` ========= Releasing ========= Create a PEAR package, as well as phars for pear-less installation, simply run ``build-release.sh``). ``go-pear.phar`` contains the PEAR installer installer that asks where to install it. It is available from http://pear.php.net/go-pear.phar. ``install-pear-nozlib.phar`` installs PEAR automatically without asking anything. It is shipped with PHP itself.
