Tip: Installing PEAR Packages


During the course of my PEAR testing, I attempted to uninstall phpDocumentor and reinstall it. This caused me about 15 minutes of grief as PEAR kept telling me "No releases available for package 'pear.phpdoc.org/phpDocumentor'". I finally found the command I needed: 

pear clear-cache

That did the trick. I was then able to reinstall phpDocumentor without any problems.

  2. Thank you!
    I've been edging towards insanity trying to get phpDocumentor installed on Windows. Hidden dependencies, broken links and little gotchas one after the other.

    I think I may have it, but now I'm too insane to be able to code anything...
