How to install the Pear package for Alt-PHP

To install a PEAR package for Alt-PHP (cloudlinux's PHP management solution), you'll need to follow these general steps:

  1. Access Alt-PHP Manager: Log in to your server's control panel (such as cPanel or Plesk) and navigate to the Alt-PHP Manager. This is where you can select and manage different PHP versions.

  2. Select Alt-PHP Version: Choose the Alt-PHP version you want to install the PEAR package for. Make sure you're working with the correct PHP version.

  3. Access Shell (Terminal) or SSH: Open a terminal or connect to your server via SSH. This is where you'll execute the necessary commands.

  4. Update Package Lists: Before installing any package, it's a good practice to update the package lists to ensure you're getting the latest version. Run the following command:

    bash

 

  • yum update
  • Install PEAR: PEAR is typically installed with PHP by default, but if it's not, you can install it separately. Use the following command:

    bash
  • yum install php-pear

    This command installs the PEAR package manager for the selected Alt-PHP version.

  • Install the Desired PEAR Package: Once PEAR is installed, you can install your desired package. Use the following command (replace package_name with the actual name of the package):

    bash

 

pear install package_name

For example, if you want to install the Mail package, you would use:

bash
  1. pear install Mail
  2. Verify Installation: After installation, you can verify that the package has been installed correctly by using the appropriate command for the specific package.

  3. Integrate Package with Your PHP Application: Depending on the package, you'll need to integrate it into your PHP application. This might involve including it in your code or configuring it through specific settings.

Please note that specific steps might vary depending on your server setup and Alt-PHP version. Always refer to the official CloudLinux or Alt-PHP documentation for any specific instructions related to their environment.

Additionally, make sure that you have the necessary permissions to install packages on your server, and that you're following best practices for security and system maintenance.
