First off, I have never used Pear before, I'm a complete newbie, but I need to mix php and excel so... I ran

sudo apt-get install pear

and that went smoothly, but I can't get any further. I tried to install the Spreadsheet Excel Writer like this

sudo pear install Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer-0.9.3

but was promptly told

Failed to download pear/OLE within preferred state "stable", latest release is version 1.0.0RC2, stability "beta", use "channel://pear.php.net/OLE-1.0.0RC2" to install pear/Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer requires package "pear/OLE" (version >= 0.5) No valid packages found install failed

I upgraded it but it didn't change anything. I don't know how to get it to use a different channel and I can't find a way to install the package "pear/OLE". Please help! Thanks

Firstly, you have to install OLE-1.0.0RC2 sudo pear install OLE-1.0.0RC2

You can install Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer from scratch by

git clone https://github.com/pear/Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer.git

cd Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer

pear install package.xml
