PHPUnit installation into CakePHP - no Autoload.php

Question

I'm stuck with PHPUnit installation to CakePHP.

What I have:

What I did:

I installed PHPUnit via PEAR as recommened in CakePHP doc. It somehow installed the phar archive so that I'm able to use phpunit executable via CLI. CakePHP test.php is looking for PHPUnit/Autoload.php in PHP include_path. But no directory called PHPUnit was created anywhere.
Then I tried apt-get with (a little bit) more success: PHPUnit directory with the source was created at /usr/share/php/PHPUnit. I searched the whole machine for Autoload.php, but there was none.

What am I doing wrong? Where is my Autoload.php?

Brilliant, that worked, thank you @mark! The installation instructions are a little unclear though. You have to actually rename the folder you clone, not clone into a folder. If it helps somebody... — Lukas Kovarik

But the question remains: why don't the official solutions work? — Lukas Kovarik

Autoload.php no longer exists in the 4.x branch. I believe it was added in the 3.5 branch and remains through the 3.7 branch:

If you want to downgrade, this should work:

pear uninstall phpunit/PHPUnit
pear channel-discover pear.symfony.com
pear install phpunit/PHPUnit-3.7.35
