There are many different ways to install PhD, including:
$ cd /my/svn/dir $ svn co https://svn.php.net/repository/phd/trunk phd $ cd phd $ ls
$ cd /the/phd/svn/dir $ svn up $ pear install -f package.xml
$ cd /the/phd/svn/dir $ svn up $ pear upgrade -f package.xml
$ pear help $ pear help install options
Note: -f, --force : overwrite newer installed packages
Note: pear requires the channel doc.php.net be added (pear channel-discover doc.php.net). The channel is available by default in recent pear versions.
Read the PhD Wiki page for further setup and configuration help. Also:
$ phd -h
By default, PhD attempts to build several themes (xhtml, bigxhtml, chm, and phpweb) and use .manual.xml that's first generated by configure.php
