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..

Answer 1

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.
