What is this ? I have to install php??

Ok, this video and sub-course are horrible: all the rest of the php course we have "Workspaces" available. Here: there is no workspace, Alena uses some other software without showing us where or how to get it or even if we need to get it for the rest of the course. And then she says to download this other thing: PHP Unit. She just says to download it without showing how. So: WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO ?? Download the program she is using? (i think it s Visual Studio Code (https://code.visualstudio.com/) and then try to download the php unit thing and then follow the videos? Tx

Hello Dekin O'Sullivan

To work with the files for this project, you'll need to set up a local PHP environment. We have a couple of workshops to help with this:

You can learn more about using Visual Studio code as your PHP Text Editor in the Introducing Text Editors workshop.

Thanks Dave, but really all this info should be in a course entitled "introduction to unit testing", itself in an intro course to php... this is crazy.
