Download the zip file for CI 1.7.x
Step 2 :
Extract the zip and copy this two files
fake_controller.php
fake_functions.php
Paste it in any directory in your project.
It looks clear if you place in nbporject directory as then this fake files will not be shown in main project source tree. However Placing it anywhere inside the project will work.
