How can one ensure a successful PEAR installation on a PHP server?

To ensure a successful PEAR installation on a PHP server, you need to make sure that the PEAR package manager is installed on the server and that the necessary permissions are set correctly. Additionally, you should verify that the PEAR repository is properly configured in the php.ini file. 

// Check if PEAR is installed
if (!class_exists('PEAR')) {
    die('PEAR is not installed on this server. Please install PEAR before proceeding.');
}

// Verify PEAR repository configuration
if (!file_exists('/path/to/pear/php.ini')) {
    die('PEAR repository configuration is missing. Please configure the php.ini file.');
}

// Check permissions for PEAR installation
if (!is_writable('/path/to/pear')) {
    die('PEAR installation directory is not writable. Please set the correct permissions.');
}
