Just download the latest version and replace the old one. It is provided from the phpunit homepage.

$ wget https://phar.phpunit.de/phpunit.phar

$ chmod +x phpunit.phar

$ sudo mv phpunit.phar /usr/local/bin/phpunit

You are in the latest version. To check version you can use

$ phpunit --check-version

Thanks. Solved my problem :) – Oniya Daniel Sep 15 '17 at 10:26
This does not provide the latest version, today it gave me 6.4.2 however 6.4.3 (or more) is available elsewhere. – ajthinking Oct 17 '17 at 06:23
you can access to `https://phar.phpunit.de/`, it actually shows the latest updated. and I check on the author github https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit/commit/06b28548fd2b4a20c3cd6e247dc86331a7d4db13, now he is preparing to released. If u want unreleased version, u always can build yourselves. – Shiro Oct 17 '17 at 06:44
The code `whereis phpunit` before `sudo mv phpunit.phar /usr/local/bin/phpunit` helps a lot – Xolani May 16 '19 at 16:01

If you have installed PHPUnit globally with the PHP Archive (PHAR) procedure, you can simply run:

phpunit --self-update

Note that:

The openssl extension is required for using the --self-update feature of the PHAR.

More info in the doc.

Hope this help

This was deprecated in v5.7 and does not work in versions greater v6 anymore. – mblaettermann Sep 23 '18 at 05:08

It looks like you have PHPUnit 3.7 installed globally and on your PATH. Either replace your global phpunit with the PHAR you downloaded or explicitly execute the latter.

There are two different things update and upgrade. If you type

phpunit

it will show you all commands available. If you see in the end it shows

--self-update       Update PHPUnit to the latest version within the same
                    release series.

--self-upgrade      Upgrade PHPUnit to the latest version.

Try what you need.

You can download as per php version and install it as globally:

wget -O phpunit https://phar.phpunit.de/phpunit-7.phar

chmod +x phpunit

To check version you can use:

./phpunit --version

To set phpUnit as globally you can use:

sudo mv phpunit /usr/local/bin/phpunit

To run and test phpunit you can use:

phpunit
