The phpcs script will be installed into your PEAR bin directory. You can find this directory by running:
pear config-show

and looking at the line that says bin_dir. The directory there is where the file "phpcs" will be installed.

Please check inside that directory to see if it was installed correctly. If it is, you'll need to make sure that the bin_dir is in your path.

Sorry I didn't see this before, but PEAR is giving you an error message:
No handlers for package.xml version 2.0

PHP_CodeSniffer uses package.xml version 2. You must have an older version of PEAR that does not support this versions.

Please update your PEAR installation and try again.

Probably should have mentioned how to udpdate PEAR :)
pear upgrade PEAR

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PEAR itself. For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PEAR, please
visit http://pear.php.net/support/ as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions.

Thank you for your interest in PEAR.

I'm closing this bug because I'm pretty sure there is nothing wrong with PHP_CodeSniffer itself. The previous comments explain how to resolve this issue.
