Before, I installed the older version of PHPUnit, the one with PHP version less than 5.3, where there is only one package required by just copying them into the PHP include directory and set up the phpunit executable. This time, I’ve upgraded to the latest and the greatest using the easiest way.
Installing via PEAR
This is how I install my latest PHPUnit with PHP 5.3.8 on my local machine (Slackware Linux).
pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de pear channel-discover components.ez.no pear channel-discover pear.symfony-project.com pear install phpunit/PHPUnit
I did this as root. Below is the actual transcript.
