Installing Pear Wiki Filter

I am trying to install the pear wiki filter, but I am not understanding this part of the readme instructions:

Use the following command to get the CVS Version of all the required PEAR packages
(which I would recommend at least for the Mediawiki parser):

cvs -d :pserver:cvsread@cvs.php.net:/repository checkout -d Text pear/Text_Wiki/Text

Any help? I think it means to use some sort of command line, which I am unfamiliar. Is there a way to do it without it?

Yeah, you can just download

Yeah, you can just download the packages directly and then extract them into the pearwiki_filter folder. Start with http://pear.php.net/package/Text_Wiki/ and put the "Text" folder from this into the pearwiki folder. Then, if you want the mediawiki option (http://pear.php.net/package/Text_Wiki_Mediawiki/), download it and extract it inside the "Text" folder following the instructions in the readme.

Upload all of this to the modules directory and activate - it should all work for you. I had exactly the same problem.


So the final directory

So the final directory should look like: modules/pearwiki_filter-5.x-1.1/pearwiki_filter/ . This is the Text file of http://pear.php.net/package/Text_Wiki/ should be extracted, yeah? But then where do we put http://pear.php.net/package/Text_Wiki_Mediawiki/?

Should it be modules/pearwiki_filter-5.x-1.1/pearwiki_filter/Text/Text ? With the final 'Text' being the 'Text' folder of http://pear.php.net/package/Text_Wiki_Mediawiki/ ?

Please advise...

Heebie, Did you figure out the directory structure? I am also curious what the final folder placement looks like.
