Windows Installing PHPUnit via PEAR - Installing PHPUnit via PEAR

Question

When I run:

peardev install phpunit/PHPUnit

I get the following:

No releases available for package \"pear.phpunit.de/PHPUni         


        

Answer 1

could not extract the package.xml file from "C:\Program Files\PHP\tmp\YAML-1.0.5
.tgz" Unable to create directory 'C:/Program/tmpFA83.tmp'
Unable to create path for C:/Program/tmpFA83.tmp/package.xml

This is a bug in pear installer. It can't deal with the SPACE in your path and tries to read the wrong files. Installing your php in a folder without a space is the only 'fix' i know about :/

Update 5:

pear install --force --alldeps pear/pear

do all channel updates it asks for

pear install --force --alldeps phpunit/PHPUnit

if asked for channel updates, do those and repeat
