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.
