Cannot install PEAR with EasyPHP 13.1 VC9

Question

I'm trying to install PEAR on my newly installed EasyPHP 13.1. Basically, I'm following the steps described here: How to install PEAR with EasyPHP 5.3.8?

The problem is that when I run command "php go-pear.phar" (as administrator), I get the following error message: Could not open input file: go-pear.phar

I even tried to download and run the non-phared file from http://pear.php.net/go-pear, but I got the same result.

Answer 1

So it turned out that before running command "php go-pear.phar", the current working directory must be set to the directory which contains go-pear.phar (with command cd).

Answer 2

Does the go-pear.phar file exist in the directory your are currently in and are executing php right now?
