I\'ve got a fresh copy of PHPUnit installed on my system (Ubuntu 11), but whenever I type phpunit in the console I get the following error:

PHP Fa

Answer 1

I came across the same problem, managed to solve it using composer

Try these steps -

First uninstall phpunit

sudo apt-get remove phpunit

Install composer - http://getcomposer.org/doc/01-basic-usage.md#installation

$ curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

Install phpunit - http://phpunit.de/manual/3.7/en/installation.html

For a system-wide installation via Composer, you can run:

$ composer global require 'phpunit/phpunit=3.7.*'

You will also have to make sure that you have ~/.composer/vendor/bin/ in your path.
