Install PHPUNIT in RHEL, CentOS or Fedora

I just keep on forgetting the channel and name when I install PHPUNIT using PEAR. I might as well put it here so I know where to look.
Note: The steps assumes that you have PEAR installed already and that you're machine have internet ;)


1. Make sure that you're PEAR is version 1.9.2 or above. 
# pear upgrade pear


2. Discover all channels required.
# pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de
# pear channel-discover pear.symfony-project.com
# pear channel-discover components.ez.no


3. Install PHPUnit with all the dependencies
# pear install --force --alldeps channel://pear.php.net/HTTP_Request2-2.0.0RC1 <-- optional, at the time of writing this is beta so I had to force install it
# pear install --alldeps phpunit/PHPUnit


4. Done. Test PHPUNIT.
# phpunit
