PHPUnit Installation using PEAR

PHPUnit Installation using PEAR

Installing PHPUnit

PHPUnit should be installed using the PEAR Installer. This installer is the backbone of PEAR, which provides a distribution system for PHP packages, and is shipped with every release of PHP

The PEAR channel (pear.phpunit.de) that is used to distribute PHPUnit needs to be registered with the local PEAR environment. Furthermore, a component that PHPUnit depends upon is hosted on the Symfony Components PEAR channel (pear.symfony-project.com).


#> pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de
#> pear channel-discover components.ez.no
#> pear channel-discover pear.symfony-project.com


This has to be done only once. Now the PEAR Installer can be used to install packages from the PHPUnit channel:

Check the List of Packages in Remote PHPUnit.

#> pear remote-list -c phpunit

Install PHPUnit Using this command
#> pear install phpunit/PHPUnit

Check the Installed PHPUnit Packages
#> Pear list -c phpunit
Check PHPUnit_Selenium installed in that list.


After the installation you can find the PHPUnit source files inside your local PEAR directory; the path is usually /usr/lib/php/PHPUnit. Or /usr/local/lib/php/PHPUnit


If you are facing installation error while follow the above steps?
Then Try this.

pear update-channels
pear install --onlyreqdeps phpunit/PHPUnit.
