There are download sections for PECL extensions in http://pecl.php.net/ But I am not getting install steps for PECL *itself**. Following command does not work - 

yum intall pecl

In my system, I have PECL installed, so I can install PECL extensions like this-

pecl install mailparse

But, in a system where running pecl command does not recognize the same, how to install PECL first on a Fedora 7 system (old system).

Seems to me that you should do yum install php-pear to get pecl on your OS, not yum install pecl.

On Debian/Ubuntu with the Ondrej PHP PPA: sudo apt-get install php-pear

    If anyobody have come here, wondering, like me, about how to install pecl on AWS linux and PHP 7, package is `php7-pear` and executable is `pecl7` – baldrs Jul 18 '17 at 13:08

    and if you are using the remi repo - all the binaries etc are in /opt/remi/php70/root/usr/bin. I recommend symbolic linking these to their normal directories etc. – Ross Oct 12 '18 at 10:08
  • I am using php7.3.29 and I am not able to install pecl I tried ```sudo apt-get install php7.3-pear``` . E: Unable to locate package php7.3-pear. If i try it wothout version it installs for php 8. @baldrs – Riwaj Chalise Jul 11 '21 at 08:03
