Fixed in github repo: https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer/commit/8b66febd5654dfbbee8ff7f1c16a b146aab71c21 PEAR needs a file installed into the data dir on install or upgrade to create the folder and I removed the previous sample file in the last version. I've put a proper sample file back now.
