title: Install PEAR on MAMP
body: <p>I am using MAMP for development. I have never been able to get PEAR to work. The MAMP documentation and forums seem not to have the answers. Everybody who asked on the MAMP forum seems to have no replies.</p>
  
  <p>Previously I have developed the systems on MAMP and only used PEAR for mail so I got it working once on the server rather than in MAMP. I want to use more of PEAR now.</p>
  
  <p>Can anybody give me an idiots guide to getting it going. I can access terminal and type command lines, however, I don't really understand what's going on so when things stop or throw errors I have to ask more questions. I have had a go with various things found on the internet but failed so far.</p>
  
  <p>MAMP is version 1.9.5 Mac OS 10.6.7</p>
