  <p>the install instructions for phpunit are running this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de
  pear install phpunit/PHPUnit
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>the first one goes okay , on the second I get an error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>phpunit/PHPUnit requires PEAR Installer (version &gt;= 1.8.1), installed version is 1.7.2
  phpunit/PHPUnit can optionally use package "pear/Image_GraphViz" (version &gt;= 1.2.1)
  phpunit/PHPUnit can optionally use package "pear/Log"
  phpunit/PHPUnit can optionally use PHP extension "xdebug" (version &gt;= 2.0.5)
  No valid packages found
  install failed
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I just installed pear using both the latest go-pear.phar version from php.net(php 5.3.0)
  also tried running <code>php go-pear.php</code> as pear website says.</p>
  
  <p>running <code>pear -V</code> gives me version 1.7.2 , when I run <code>pear upgrade PEAR</code> it says my version is newer than the current noe which is 1.9.0, if ran <code>pear upgrade -f PEAR</code> to force an upgrade, it downloads the files and installs successfully but I still have version 1.7.2 and cannot install phpunit.</p>
  
  <p>I am running windows vista, php 5.3.0</p>
