README

PHPUnit is a programmer-oriented testing framework for PHP. It is an instance of the xUnit architecture for unit testing frameworks.

Installation

We distribute a PHP Archive (PHAR) that has all required (as well as some optional) dependencies of PHPUnit bundled in a single file:

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

$ chmod +x phpunit.phar

$ mv phpunit.phar /usr/local/bin/phpunit

You can also immediately use the PHAR after you have downloaded it, of course:

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

$ php phpunit.phar

Alternatively, you may use Composer to download and install PHPUnit as well as its dependencies. Please refer to the documentation for details on how to do this.
