There are many different ways to install PhD, including:

• PEAR Channel: See install
• Download: See install
• SVN: See install

• View source: https://svn.php.net/viewvc/phd/trunk
• SVN Repo: https://svn.php.net/repository/phd/trunk
• http://php.net/svn.php

$ 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

• Short answer: Create a theme, and build.
• Long answer: It's not yet friendly for this but two close examples of smaller projects that use PhD are: The PHP documentation howto and PhD guide.
