After upgrading to OSX 10.7, I discovered that both PEAR and PECL had gone. After some considerable searching online Ruggero De Pellegrini on Google+, so I’m putting it here for anyone who needs it (including myself when I get a new mac).
- Download the installer
curl http://pear.php.net/go-pear.phar > go-pear.php
- Start the installation
sudo sudo php -q go-pear.php
- Press 1 and “installation base ($prefix)” and change it to /usr/local
- Press enter and continue.
Copy the default php.ini
file
sudo cp /etc/php.ini.default /etc/php.ini
- In
/etc/php.ini
change theinclude_path = ".:/usr/local/share/pear"
Type pecl or pear in Terminal.app and see if it works.
