How do I run PHPUnit in Laravel from my Windows Command prompt

I have a Laravel app installed in my directory f:lara_app. I use PHP artisan serve to run the app. I have Laravel version 5.4.36 (via Composer Install)

I am not trying my hand in using the PHP Unit to do testing. Inside f:/lara_app/tests/Unit/ExampleTest.php, I have the following codes:

namespace TestsUnit;
use TestsTestCase;
use IlluminateFoundationTestingDatabaseMigrations;
use IlluminateFoundationTestingDatabaseTransactions;

class ExampleTest extends TestCase
{
/**
* A basic test example.
*
* @return void
*/
public function testBasicTest()
{
$this->assertTrue(true);
}

public function myFirstTest()
{
$value = 'Hello World';
$this->assertTrue( 'Hello' === $value, 'Value should be Hello World');
}
}


I now try to run the test from my command prompt:

f:lara_app> .vendor/phpunit/phpuni/phpunit


But I'm getting the message below:

'.vendor' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

How do I run the PHPUnit test?

Thanks in advance

your answer is in your question. why the . before vendor?
