A big thank you to our Backers; you rock!
Getting Started
Phalcon is written in Zephir/C with platform independence in mind. As a result, Phalcon is available on Microsoft Windows, GNU/Linux, FreeBSD and macOS. You can either download a binary package for the system of your choice or build it from source.
Installation
Using PIE (recommended)
PIE is the modern PHP extension installer:
pie install phalcon/cphalcon
Using PECL
Important
PECL has been deprecated, so users should switch to installing Phalcon with PIE. We will keep releasing on PECL until PECL is retired or v5.x reaches its end of life.
pecl install phalcon
From source
For detailed installation instructions you can check our installation page in the docs.
Generating API Documentation
Generating new documentation files for docs repository can be done using the script in bin/generate-api-docs.php. Steps:
- Clone the phalcon repo
- Checkout the tag you would like to generate docs for.
- Run
php bin/generate-api-docs.php - The generated
*.mdfiles will contain the documentation - For publishing to the Phalcon website this repo is used.
