PHPUnit not working with Laravel 5

I just installed a fresh Laravel 5 project, my first one on this version. PHPUnit is supposed to be out of the box with the framework and every tutorials I saw just say to type phpunit within the project folder to launch the Unit Tests.

I checked and PHPUnit is in the composer.json, I also did a composer install and composer update just in case it wouldn't be here

website(master)$ composer update
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
  - Removing phpunit/phpunit (4.6.1)
  - Installing phpunit/phpunit (4.6.2)
    Downloading: 100%

But it just doesn't work phpunit isn't recognized at all

 website(master)$ phpunit
-bash: phpunit: command not found

Seems like nobody got this problem before as I Googled it. I hope I'm not doing any stupid mistake. Any idea or suggestion ? Thanks guys ;)

@Laurent it's not uncommon to have PHPUnit installed globally on your system so you can run phpunitfrom anywhere – Phil Apr 8 '15 at 1:43

Yeah I installed it globally and it works well now – Laurent Apr 8 '15 at 1:44

I didn't install PHPUnit globally and didn't define the path. So for anyone who would have same problem :

composer global require phpunit/phpunit
composer global require phpunit/dbunit

Then you add this to you ~/.bash_profile or ~/.profile

export PATH=~/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH

Include this line on your composer.json "phpunit/phpunit": "4.0.*", Run composer update. You should be able to run the following command on your Laravel directory. vendor/bin/phpunit shareimprove this answer
