yum install php-pear* on centos

Question

I\'m trying to install pear on my centos.

I\'ve used \"*yum install php-pear**\" to install pear and it seemed to install with success. No errors. I restart my serve

Answer 1

yum does not rebuild anything. It downloads the necessary software modules and installs it on your machine. Your stock centos php does not have pear pre-compiled, but it will still be able to use pear once you've downloaded your modules.

If you cannot run pear, make sure you have the executable included in your path, or use "locate" to find it.
