PHP Installer For Extensions (PIE)¶
PIE is an extension installer for PHP, designed as a successor to PECL and developed by the PHP Foundation. Pie is dedicated to installing PHP extensions, by downloading them or compiling them locally.
It aims at working like composer.
With the publication of PIE 1.0, in early 2026, PECL does not accept new packages, and direct authors to the PIE infrastructure.
