Install phpunit on windows

Question

How to install phpunit?

I read documentation https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit, but have an error:

>pear upgrade PEAR
Nothing to upgrad         


        

Answer 1

I use Windows XP.

I wasted a lot of time trying to use pear (the proscribed method to get MakeGood working with Eclipse IDE), only to discover the repository for phpunit is no longer available. This information should be nearer the top of this page so people do not waste their time too.

I installed phpunit via the download at https://phpunit.de/ and following the accompanying instructions. By adding the path to the command file to PATH I can now run phpunit from the command line. I have not however got phpunit running in MakeGood/Eclipse. Much of the information on that is out-of-date as it requires pear.
