Phalcon PHP is a web framework delivered as a C extension providing high performance and lower resource consumption.

This tools provide you useful scripts to generate code helping to develop faster and easy applications that use with Phalcon framework.

• PHP >= 5.3.9
• Phalcon >= 2.0.0

Install composer in a common location or in your project:

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

Create the composer.json file as follows:

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

If you are still using Phalcon 1.3.x, create a composer.json with the following instead:

{
    "require": {
        "phalcon/devtools": "1.3.*@dev"
    }
}

Run the composer installer:

php composer.phar install

Install composer and box in a common location or in your project:

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

Build phar file phalcon-devtools

bin/box build -v
chmod +xr ./phalcon.phar
# Test it!
php ./phalcon.phar

Phalcon Devtools can be installed by using Git.

Just clone the repo and checkout the current branch:

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.

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

To get a list of available commands just execute following:

$ phalcon commands help

This command should display something similar to:

$ phalcon list ?

Phalcon DevTools (2.0.9)
