What are common issues beginners face when trying to install PEAR for PHP?

Common issues beginners face when trying to install PEAR for PHP include not having the PEAR package manager installed, encountering permission errors during installation, and facing issues with the PHP include path. To solve these issues, beginners can first ensure that the PEAR package manager is installed on their system. They can then try running the installation command with elevated permissions using sudo to avoid permission errors. Additionally, setting the PHP include path to include the PEAR directory can help resolve any path-related issues. 

// Install PEAR package manager
sudo apt-get install php-pear

// Run installation command with elevated permissions
sudo pear install PackageName

// Set PHP include path to include PEAR directory
ini_set('include_path', ini_get('include_path') . PATH_SEPARATOR . '/path/to/pear');
