How do I install a package when I get the error message "No release with state equal to: 'stable' found for 'Packagename'"?
answer by Greg Beaver
The package in question does have releases, but none that are stable. There are two solutions.
-
Set preferred_state to alpha or beta and then install
$ pear config-set preferred_state alpha
$ pear install Packagename
-
Find out the stability or version number of the latest release and install it directly.
$ pear install Packagename-alpha
$ pear install Packagename-1.5.3
