Compilation

On platform Linux you can easily compile and install the extension from source code.

Requirements

We need some packages previously installed

• PHP 5.x development resources
• GCC compiler

#Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install php5-dev php5-mysql gcc

#Suse
yast2 -i php5-pear php5-devel php5-mysql gcc

Compilation

To create the extension from C source follow the next steps:

git clone git://github.com/phalcon/cphalcon.git
cd cphalcon/build
sudo ./install

Add the extension to your php.ini:

extension=phalcon.so

Finally restart the webserver

Debian

There is a repo graciously offered by FortRabbit here

Arch Linux

There is a PKGBUILD for ArchLinux, available here

FreeBSD

A port is available for FreeBSD. Just only need these simple line commands to install it:

# pkg_add -r phalcon

or

# cd /usr/ports/www/phalcon && make install clean

Dependencies

Although Phalcon does not binary link to other extensions it does use some of them to offer functionality. The extensions used are:

• mbstring
• mcrypt
• openssl
• PDO
• PDO/Mysql
• PDO/Postgresql
• PDO/Sqlite
• PDO/Oracle
• Mongo

It is not necessary for all the above extensions to be present in the system that has Phalcon installed. You can only install the ones that meet your needs. For instance if you use a MySQL database, then you can only load PDO and PDO/MySQL ignoring the Oracle, SQlite, Postgresql and Mongo.
