How to install PHPUnit using composer in Windows 07 64 bit?

Question

I have windows 07 64-bit OS and I have downloaded the composer as well as I am running wampserver wampserver2.2e-php5.3.13-httpd2.2.22-mysql5.5.24-x64.exe . I have tried to install PHPUnit using composer but couldn't. I found the installation steps on linux/ mac os but not in windows. Some site suggested to add a dependency on phpunit/phpunit to the php project's composer.json file. But how? I don't know. Please help me for the installation of PHPUnit using composer on wampserver(windows 07-64 bit OS) or any alternatives..

You do the exact same thing you would do on Linux or OSX.

As from the docs over at: http://www.phpunit.de/manual/current/en/installation.html#installation.composer.

{
    "require-dev": {
        "phpunit/phpunit": "3.7.*"
    }
}

and run php composer.phar install --dev.

For a system wide install you do:

{
    "name": "phpunit",
    "description": "PHPUnit",
    "require": {
        "phpunit/phpunit": "3.7.*"
    },
    "config": {
        "bin-dir": "C:/my/dir"
    }
}

and add the directory to your windows $PATH.

In this case I would suggest to use Pear. Usually you don't install just couple of php classes but also you might need to configure Windows to make phpunit running as tool.

Try to have a look here

Installing PHPUnit through PEAR is no longer supported. [Check this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12655136/install-phpunit-on-windows). – The Alpha Jun 18 '16 at 11:06
What's the point of commenting something 4 years old? And yes composer is only way in these days. – Zdenek Machek Jun 18 '16 at 21:27
