Issue

I'm trying to run a command that downloads a bit of software using PEAR installed with MAMP.

Here's the command I run in Terminal:

pear channel-discover pear.phpdoc.org

The Terminal responds with:

-bash: pear: command not found

Could someone please advise how to access PEAR that comes pre-installed with MAMP?

Path to MAMP on my Mac is /Applications/MAMP/

Solution

I do not use mamp but i think you can find the pear here:

/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5.3/bin/pear

you can simply add some alias to make it shorter, something like

alias mamppear="/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5.3/bin/pear"
