Installs one or more PEAR packages. You can specify a package to install in four ways: "Package-1.0.tgz" : installs from a local file "http://example.com/Package-1.0.tgz" : installs from anywhere on the net. "package.xml" : installs the package described in package.xml. Useful for testing, or for wrapping a PEAR package in another package manager such as RPM. "Package[-version/state][.tar]" : queries your default channel's server ({config master_server}) and downloads the newest package with the preferred quality/state ({config preferred_state}). To retrieve Package version 1.1, use "Package-1.1," to retrieve Package state beta, use "Package-beta." To retrieve an uncompressed file, append .tar (make sure there is no file by the same name first) To download a package from another channel, prefix with the channel name like "channel/Package" More than one package may be specified at once. It is ok to mix these four ways of specifying packages.
