How to get ezComponents ConsoleTools installed

Question

Since PEAR attempts to get ConsoleTools from "components.ez.no", which is not available anymore, how does satisfy that dependency for "phpcpd" installation?

Answer 1

There is no pear release for the moment. You can install from svn.

You can also try to install phpcd from github, it might not depend on ConsoleTools: https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpcpd/blob/master/README.markdown

Answer 2

Installing from SVN was a 500mb download. If you don't need the entire package, these commands will work, and are much smaller.

I was receiving this when trying to install:

$ pear install --alldeps phpunit/PHPUnit_SkeletonGenerator 
Unknown remote channel: components.ez.no
phpunit/PHPUnit_SkeletonGenerator requires package "channel://components.ez.no/ConsoleTools (version >= 1.6)
No valid packages found
install failed

All you need to do is run this:

$ pecl channel-discover components.ez.no

You should receive these success messages... Adding Channel "components.ez.no" succeeded Discovery of channel "components.ez.no" succeeded

Now the command will work correctly...

$ pear install --alldeps phpunit/PHPUnit_SkeletonGenerator

My output was:
