Since 2014-12-31 PEAR Installer was no longer the only installation method for PHPUnit See here : https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit/wiki/End-of-Life-for-PEAR-Installation-Method

Answer 3

First off all xampp should be installed to C:\xampp

Open a command prompt and go to C:\xampp\php

Type the following commands in to the cmd

pear update-channels" (updates channel definitions)

pear upgrade (upgrades all existing packages and pear)

pear channel-discover components.ez.no (this is needed for PHPUnit)

pear channel-discover pear.symfony-project.com (also needed by PHPUnit)

pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de (This IS phpunit)

pear install --alldeps phpunit/PHPUnit (installs PHPUnit and all dependencies)

Answer 4

What is the full error message output? It failed for me until I installed using the --alldeps option and ran pear channel-discover pear.symfony-project.com

sudo pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de
sudo pear channel-discover pear.symfony-project.com
sudo pear install --alldeps phpunit/PHPUnit

Answer 5

I had the same problem yesterday, and solved it by updating the channels

pear clear-cache
pear update-channels

before trying to install phpUnit.

Hope this helps.

Answer 6

I tried

pear update-channels

as suggested by Davide above, but that gave me the error

Channel pear.php.net does not support xml-rpc method channel.listAll

For some reason, it worked when I ran

pear channel-update pear.phpunit.de
