Manual Install Instructions missing things

It looks like the manual install instructions for Matrix are missing some thing: http://matrix.squizsuite.net/quick-start-guide/manual-installation

Off hand I know it is missing talking about php packages such as ldap. It also is missing mentioning a pear package needed by Bulkmail which is Net_SMTP. Feels like there is a bunch more missing.

Bulkmail packages requires Mail_Queue which includes Net_SMTP as dependency, so it should be fine.

But it's true that it doesn't mention any requirements for PHP extensions. I will make sure the requirement page gets updated for that.

Also if you suspect there is any required package missing on your system, run this script to do a pre-install check.

php install/check_requirements.php pwd

The Requirements page now lists required PHP extensions for installation.

We also now have a note on the check_requirements.php script, as well as config info for setting up Suhosin.
