Where do PEAR packages normally get installed?
/usr/share/php/
is correct for Debian.
/usr/share/php/PEAR
itself contains classes for PEAR itself.
The reason for using /usr/share/php
is that the pear
CLI tool is an installer that installs libraries (or applications) for PHP - choosing php
is thus correct.
Yes, that is the correct directory on Debian, and Ubuntu.
Regardless of which O/S you are using, you can find the correct install directory by running: pear config-get php_dir
via a console. And you get full directory path.
For example, with XAMPP application on Microsoft Window you have to go to XAMPP installation directory path <<XAMPP Installation folder path>>/bin
and use ./pear config-get php_dir
which lead to execute the binary file using current location and do the same job.
