title: Installing PEAR on Windows 7 using phar
body: <p>I'm trying to install PEAR for use with Wamp 2.1. The package does not come with any pear installation. I have read that you need to use <a href="http://pear.php.net/go-pear.phar" rel="noreferrer">http://pear.php.net/go-pear.phar</a> to install PEAR for PHP 5.3 as the old go-pear.bat is now obsolete?</p>
  
  <p>The instructions are to run the following command to install PEAR;</p>
  
  <pre><code>php -d phar.require_hash=0 PEAR/go-pear.phar
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, this is resulting in the following error;</p>
  
  <pre><code>manifest cannot be larger than 100 MB in phar "D:\wamp2\bin\php\php5.3.4\PEAR\go-pear.phar"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm sure this is due to a php setting I have correct somewhere, anyone have any ideas?</p>
