Php – How to install PECL on a linux system

peclPHP

There are download sections for PECL extensions in http://pecl.php.net/
But I am not getting install steps for PECL *itself**. Following command does not work –

yum intall pecl

In my system, I have PECL installed, so I can install PECL extensions like this-

pecl install mailparse

But, in a system where running pecl command does not recognize the same, how to install PECL first on a Fedora 7 system (old system).

Seems to me that you should do yum install php-pear to get pecl on your OS, not yum install pecl.

On Debian/Ubuntu with the Ondrej PHP PPA: sudo apt-get install php-pear

to install libssh2 on centos follow the next steps:

download libssh2 from the official website (look for in google - i don't have reputation and can't post but 1 link)
extract it somewhere, then open a terminal and go in the folder where you extracted it and type these commands

you can install the rpmforge repos from DAG from here:

(check your version, if you're on i386 you'll probably have to get the "Red Hat EL 5 - i386" one)

then do a

yum install libssh2

Centos – How to install a custom (patched) PECL extension

If you have the (patched) extension source code locally you can bypass PECL entirely:

# cd extension_dir
# phpize
# ./configure
# make
# make install

(phpize is a binary that comes with PHP - It prepares the extension to be compiled, the rest is pretty straightforward).
