Both GMP and PHPUnit are often available via package management

Untar the avro-php distribution, untar it, and put it in your include path:
tar xjf avro-php.tar.bz2 # avro-php.tar.bz2 is likely avro-php-1.4.0.tar.bz2
cp avro-php /path/to/where/you/want/it
Require the avro.php file in your source, and you should be good to go:
<?php
require_once('avro-php/avro.php');
If you're pulling from source, put lib/ in your include path and require lib/avro.php:
<?php
require_once('lib/avro.php');
Take a look in examples/ for usage.
