If you are seeing the above errors when running phpcs (PHPCodeSniffer) first thing you have to do is to make sure you have PHPCodeSniffer installed. To check this just open a Terminal and run:
find / -type f -name 'CLI.php'
If you see in the results something like this …..lib/php/PHP/CodeSniffer/CLI.php then you have code sniffer installed. In case you haven’t then run sudo pear install PHP_CodeSniffer to install it.
Then all you have to do is to include the folder in your path. Just copy in your clipboard everyhing behind /PHP/CodeSniffer/CLI.php. In my case it was “/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.26/lib/php” and paste it in your bash profile file which usually is ~/.bash_profile
So just type nano ~/.bash_profile and paste in there something like this:
export PATH=/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.26/lib/php:$PATH
