Installation of JUnit

Install JUnit by running the following commands as the root user: 

install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/{,doc/}junit-4.3.1 &&
chown -R root:root . &&
cp -v -R junit* org  /usr/share/junit-4.3.1 &&
cp -v -R *.html *doc /usr/share/doc/junit-4.3.1

Add the junit-4.3.1.jar and /usr/share/junit-4.3.1 directory to your system CLASSPATH environment variable: 

export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:\
/usr/share/junit-4.3.1/junit-4.3.1.jar:/usr/share/junit-4.3.1

To run the JUnit regression self-tests, you'll need to have JDK-6 Update 5 or Jikes installed and the CLASSPATH environment variable updated. Then, as an unprivileged user, issue: 

java org.junit.runner.JUnitCore org.junit.tests.AllTests
