Description

I am very green to Drupal, PEAR, etc. so apologies for the obviousness of this request. I just ran:

pear install http://phptal.motion-twin.com/latest.tar.gz

And received the following message:

downloading latest.tar.gz ...
Starting to download latest.tar.gz (49,638 bytes)
.............done: 49,638 bytes
WARNING: channel "pear.php.net" has updated its protocols, use "channel-update pear.php.net" to update
Cannot install, php_dir for channel "pear.php.net" is not writeable by the current user

Can anyone decipher what this means for an uber-newbie like me?

Thanks,

hn

You need to be root to install. Try to add sudo before your command.
