**Warning**: Pirum is not maintained anymore, use [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/) instead.

Pirum is a simple and nice looking PEAR channel server manager that lets you setup PEAR channel servers in a matter of minutes. Pirum is best suited when you want to create small PEAR channels for a few packages written by a few developers.

Pirum consists of just one file: a command line tool written in PHP. There are no external dependencies, no need for a database, and nothing needs to be installed or configured.

As of Pirum 1.1, a composer repository is generated as well.

More information can be found on the official [website](http://pirum.sensiolabs.org/).
