Requirements

• PHP >= 5.3.9
• Phalcon >= 0.7.0

Installing via Composer

Install composer in a common location or in your project:, _(*4)

curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php

Create the composer.json file as follows:, _(*5)

{
    "require": {
        "x51xxx/devtools": "dev-master"
    }
}

Run the composer installer:, _(*6)

php composer.phar install

Create a symbolink link to the phalcon.php script:, _(*7)

ln -s ~/devtools/phalcon.php /usr/bin/phalcon
chmod ugo+x /usr/bin/phalcon

Installation via PEAR

Phalcon Devtools can be installed using PEAR. Since the current version of Devtools is in beta state, you might need to update your PEAR config. You can execute following to check your current state:, _(*8)

pear config-show | grep preferred_state | awk '{split($0, s, " "); print s[5]}'

If it prints "stable" you need to set the preferred_state to beta:, _(*9)

pear config-set preferred_state beta

After that just discover the channel and install the package:, _(*10)

pear channel-discover pear.phalconphp.com
pear install phalcon/Devtools

Alternatively you can just clone the repo and checkout the current branch, _(*11)

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/phalcon/phalcon-devtools.git
cd phalcon-devtools

This method requires a little bit more of setup. Probably the best way would be to symlink the phalcon.php to a directory in your PATH, so you can issue phalcon commands in each directory where a phalcon project resides., _(*12)

ln -s ~/phalcon-devtools/phalcon.php /usr/bin/phalcon
chmod ugo+x /usr/bin/phalcon
