When am installing the phpunit below error being displayed

'D:\XAMPP\htdocs\Selenium_Test>pear install phpunit.de/PHPUnit 
Attempting to discover channel "phpunit.de"...
Attempting fallback to https instead of http on channel "phpunit.de"...

And also for Channel is:

The PEAR installation Method is abbandoned (as described here ).

Follow the instruction for install on windows here .

A simply way is:

1. Download the phpunit.phar here and save in the current directory folder.
2. Make a script files for lauch it: echo @php "%~dp0phpunit.phar" %* > phpunit.cmd
3. launch it, as example phpunit --version
