I just installed PHP 5.5.5 (VC11 x86 non thread safe) on Windows Server 2008. Before installing, I did the checksum and it matched. There is no go-pear.bat file in the PHP directory.

On windows vista/7, logging in as an administrator is not enough, right-click on the bat file and click "Run as administrator"
Fails on windows 7
Could not open input file: PEAR\go-pear.phar
Press any key to continue . . .
Note by: schwarzenneger@hotmail.com
windows users might an error similar to "unable to write to c:\windows\pear.ini" when they try to execute the go-pear.bat file. The workaround is to run the file as an administrator:
- Login as an administrator and run the bat file
- On windows vista/7, logging in as an administrator is not enough, right-click on the bat file and click "Run as administrator"
- Alternate methid: on windows xp/vista/7, open a command prompt as an administrator and run the command "C:\path\to\go-pear.bat"

It's not work.
Installer say as follows.
Bootstrapping PEAR.php............(remote) "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
An Exception Has Occurred
Unknown location: /pear/pear-core/branches/PEAR_1_4/PEAR.php

Is it need change "svn.php.net" to "github.com" ?

Thanks for the wonderful information. I wanted to install PEAR/PECL using yum and was stuck. This information can be found here <a href="http://programmingbulls.com/pecl-install"> PECL PEAR Install on Ubuntu</a>

I just spent about an hour trying to get PHPUnit on my windows machine via pear and thought I'd share some tips.
1) I tried to update to the most recent PEAR installer using the version from the website. This did not succeed. Instead I did
pear upgrade PEAR
2) The PEAR installer appears to choke with a space in the temp directory name. By default the pear install chose a directory off of my PHP install which is in "program files" and I foolishly accepted the default. By changing the temp dir with
pear config-set temp_dir c:\temp
My install worked.

Ran into an error updating PEAR today, June 15 2011. I did a fresh reformat, so this is everything I did:
1) Installed latest XAMPP for windows (zipped), XAMPP 1.7.4
2) Downloaded latest go-pear.phar from pear.php.net/go-pear.phar
3) Put go-pear.phar into xampp\php\ directory
4) Ran command "php go-pear.phar"
This results in errors, which can be viewed here:
http://pastebin.com/fiq6riX2
(System.php, line 302, mkdir() errors.)
Luckily, I had an old go-pear.phar version from May 3, 2011. That one installed/updated properly.

I got it to work... -.-" sigh....
Is there a way to suggest to try install php5-cli in order to install pear? Otherwise for a linux newb it makes him want to cry. (or die{})

If wget is not available from the terminal, use curl to download the PHP file. For example:
curl http://pear.php.net/go-pear.phar > go-pear.php
Instead of using the outdated http://pear.php.net/go-pear , use http://pear.php.net/go-pear.phar
It cannot be piped into php but must be saved first and then executed with php: $ wget http://pear.php.net/go-pear.phar && php go-pear.phar

PHP v5.3.4 threadsafe on Windows 7 64bit.
Executing go-pear.bat gives:
phar "C:\Program Files (x86)\php\PEAR\go-pear.phar" does not have a signature
PHP Warning: require_once(phar://go-pear.phar/index.php): failed to open stream: phar error: invalid url or non-existent phar "phar://go-pear.phar/index.php" in C:\Program Files (x86)\php\PEAR\go-pear.phar on line 1236.
See other notes below. I'll raise a bug.

Although this page says:
"For all versions prior to 4.3.0 or if you want to re-install the Package Manager, you can use the following provisional way:
$ lynx -source http://pear.php.net/go-pear | php "
I get:
lynx -source http://pear.php.net/go-pear | php

Sorry! Your PHP version is too old. PEAR and this script requires at
least PHP 4.3.0 for stable operation.
Can I just comment out this line in go-pear.php:
if (function_exists("version_compare") && version_compare(phpversion(), "4.3.0",'<')) {...
Note by: Eric Anderson
Note: If you're running PEAR as a non-root user, there's a good chance that the default configuration will want to install files to directories which are not writable for you.
To see the entire configuration, run:
$ pear config-show
I needed to change the following settings:
bin_dir, doc_dir, php_dir, data_dir, download_dir, test_dir

Oddly enough, Pear is installed by default on Mac OS X 10.6… just not Server.
Note by: Hecticjeff@gmail.com
In the os x section it should read os x 10.4+ not 10.4 and earlier.

When I run the go-pear.bat (in dos window) I get the following error:

Any suggestions?

I've tried to install by go-pear on Windows command line. After it downloads Structures_Graph, XLM Error occures telling me that "not well-formated (invalid token) on line 10. So installation of that, and any futher package is not possible.
PEAR seems to require PHP 4.3, at least:
wget http://pear.php.net/go-pear
php go-pear
tells me:
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.2.2
