Answer 1

If you are not successful with the pear part have a look at this.

wget https://phar.phpunit.de/phpunit.phar
chmod +x phpunit.phar
mv phpunit.phar /usr/local/bin/phpunit

ref: http://phpunit.de/manual/3.7/en/installation.html

You can also immediately use the PHAR after you have downloaded it;

wget https://phar.phpunit.de/phpunit.phar
php phpunit.phar
