phpunit file not found afer install via pear

Question

I have installed with success phpunit:

sudo pear install --alldeps pear.phpunit.de/PHPUnit

but when I prompt phpunit in console I am getting error:

bash: /usr/bin/phpunit: No file or directory

I have:

• PEAR Version: 1.9.4
• PHP Version: 5.3.6-13ubuntu3.6

Could somebody give me any advice?

pear list gives me:

Answer 1

Use the --force

sudo pear install --force --alldeps pear.phpunit.de/PHPUnit

This will reinstall all the packages and usually works around the most common pear issues and this looks like one of the cases where it just didn't quite finish up everything and if you don't --force it to reinstall it will assume all packages are working fine.
