PEAR is a PHP Extension and Application Repository. You will be able to install it, if you have shell access to your server.If your server has some kind of package management (e.g. apt-get or something like that), then you can use this package management to install PEAR.

More information is here: http://pear.php.net/manual/en/installation.getting.php. Also note that you might even be able to install PEAR, if you are on a shared host; see menu item number 3 on the linked page.
