You should download go-pear.phar file from Official site. You can place this file in the following directory,

(This above directory may be different, depend upon your version of PHP)
Open command prompt(CMD). How? just, rise up Window’s start menu, type CMD in search bar and then press Enter. For More
Now we need to give go-pear.phar file path. For my path,
cd C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.3
Give your path and press enter. You can look like following screen.
Now, You can run go-pear.phar file using following code.
php go-pear.phar
Next, that will ask you “Are you installing a system-wide PEAR or a local copy?”.
Give your answer like “local” and press Enter.
It’ll ask confirmation. Just give “yes” and press Enter.
You can see 12 files with default location and it’ll ask location change?
If you wanna change, just give “all” and change that. Better, Set default one. For default location, press Enter.
Then you may get one WARNING. You have include the path of PEAR into php.ini . So, It’ll ask
“Would you like to alter php.ini
Goto Control Panel -> System and Security -> System -> Advanced system settings
You’ll get System Properties window. There, select Advanced Tab and click Environment Variables…
Here, you’ll get Environment Variables Window. Here, select PATH into ‘System Variables’ and click edit.
Now you’ll get Edit system Variable Window. Here, Add you PEAR folder path with Semicolon. Don’t for forget, only add the path, not replace.
For my path,
C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.3;
click ‘OK’ and Save it.
Close opened command prompt and open New CMD. Give “pear” command and press Enter. If PEAR running successfully, You’ll get PEAR’s list of commands. So you Installed PEAR.
Enjoy!!!

Hej,
Thanks for the detailed tutorial.
I am running into one problem, I am not able to install any package.
e.g I want to install “Net_UserAgent_Detect” package.
I try the following command in the cammad prompt
“pear install –alldeps Net_UserAgent_Detect”
but I get the follwing error:
ERROR: failed to mkdir C:\php\pear\tests\Net_UserAgent_Detect\tests
I added the following variable path to
