Difficult to provide details from your vague “how to get Pear installed and configured properly” (what system, architecture, environment?). I cannot guess what help you exactly need to succeed in installing and configuring. Regarding Pear installation generally:
 * just follow the official instructions step by step, documented on http://pear.php.net
 * if you have a software manager that provides Pear as well then you can try to use a package instead that is offered by your distribution. But again: follow official instruction. I'm confident, they are out there ;-)
