Error installing PHP PEAR ubuntu 12.04

I have installed PHP PEAR in ubuntu using

sudo apt-get install php-pear

After successfull installation first time.When I try to run it in terminal, it shows error:

The program 'pear' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install php-pear

I again tried to install it. Then it shows that 

php-pear is already the newest version.

I have checked many questions on SO. In every question it is mentioned to locate pear etc. But above mentioned error is not solved.

I even tried installing pear many times with sudo and running it. It gives same error.

Please help to sort it out.

Just remove PEAR and PHP, then start from the beginning. I hope this solves your problem.

Package php-pear in Ubuntu 12.04 only works with PHP <= 5.2

For PHP >= 5.3 use

wget http://pear.php.net/go-pear.phar
php go-pear.phar
