I did tell it to PHP using .htaccess (but not to PHP CLI).

The reason is, that I normally use the Debian packaging system, and not
the packaging system of pear. I would like that the other PHP
applications on the server don't see the packages installed by pear.

So far I have seen, there is no information in the installation docs
about PHP CLI commands (with or without a seperate PEAR).
That's the reason I ask it here.

When I read the installation docs it looks like I don't need PHP CLI
commands. And I don't need to make a database and database user.
