# wordpress-develop incorrect phpunit version

 * I’m running WAMP 3.3.1 (64bit) with PHP 8.2.5 – I’ve installed WordPress/wordpress-
   develop and have it sorta setup. The build process works fine.
 * The problem I keep running into is Composer installing the wrong version of phpunit.
   On `composer install` I get phpunit 4.8.36.
 * I’ve tried running `composer update` but no change.
 * I’ve tried clearing my composer cache via `composer clear-cache` and `composer
   install --no-cache` but still, 4.8.36.
 * I’ve tried fully reinstalling WordPress/wordpress-develop, but the issue persists.
 * Any ideas, suggestions, explanations is appreciated.

 * Just download the latest version and replace the old one. It is provided from
   the phpunit homepage.
 *     ```wp-block-code
       $ 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
 *     ```wp-block-code
       $ phpunit --check-version
       ```

 * Thanks, that’s one option.
 * I’m trying to understand why this is happening to begin. I shouldn’t have to 
   manually install phpunit every update. I’ve run wordpress-dev unit tests with
   the same setup before, not sure why this is cropping up now.

 * My global composer install was from 2021. Once I updated composer and re-ran 
   composer install, it pulled in the correct versions.
