sudo pecl command not found

Question

I'm using ubuntu 12.04

I installed php pear using this command

sudo apt-get install php-pear php5-dev

I got this results

Reading package lists... Done

php-pear is already the newest version.
php5-dev is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Now when I use this command

sudo pecl install v8js-0.1.3

I'm getting this error

sudo: pecl: command not found

Can someone tell me how to fix this error? Thankyou

Solution 1

Fire up a terminal and use:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install php-pear php5-dev

Solution 2

This is what I did.

I completely remove old packages using

sudo apt-get purge php-pear

Then installed pear using the following command

sudo apt-get install -f php-pear php5-dev

Now it works.

Thanks

Solution 3

The question is old but still valid. Im using php 7.4 with Ubuntu 20.04 but none of the above works for me

instead for php7.4 I executed the following commands at my terminal

sudo apt install php-dev php-pear

then you can run:

sudo pecl install mongodb

sudo apt-get install -f php-pear php5-dev could possibly do it
