Installing Pear Console_Table library

After installing drush on a brand new computer, I received the following error when trying to use it:

Drush needs a copy of the PEAR Console_Table library saved as drush includes/table.inc

Here are the steps I took to resolve this issue, taken from this post: 


$ sudo wget http://download.pear.php.net/package/Console_Table-1.1.3.tgz
$ sudo tar -xzf Console_Table-1.1.3.tgz 
$ sudo mv Console_Table-1.1.3/Table.php /usr/local/lib/drush/includes/table.inc
