with

/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/bin/php

Get the file pear-phpunit from the extracted folder and place it in usr/local/bin

1. Open the finder
2. Select Go->to folder
3. enter usr/local/bin in the path
4. Drag and drop the file.

With the finder open, select the file and open with a text editor. Ensure the file reads as follows:

require_once 'PHPUnit/Util/Filter.php';



PHPUnit_Util_Filter::addFileToFilter(__FILE__, 'PHPUNIT');



require 'PHPUnit/TextUI/Command.php';



define('PHPUnit_MAIN_METHOD', 'PHPUnit_TextUI_Command::main');



PHPUnit_TextUI_Command::main();

?>

Now rename your file to phpunit (if you already have a copy of phpunit installed, rename the file to phpunit-mamp so you know which one to use). In terminal:

sudo mv /usr/local/bin/phpunit-pear /usr/local/bin/phpunit

Now you can run tests from within MAMP by simply typing phpunit into terminal.
