Example
Installation via Composer
The easiest way to install the Incubator is by using Composer.
Install Composer and create a new composer.json file in the root of your project.
|-- app
|-- public
| `-- index.php
|-- vendor
|-- composer.json
Add the following content to the composer.json file. If you are still using Phalcon 2.0.x
{
"require": {
"phalcon/incubator": "^2.0"
}
}
If you are using Phalcon 3.0.0
{
"require": {
"phalcon/incubator": "~3.0"
}
}
After altering the composer.json file, you need to run the following command, from the root of your project.
$ php composer.phar install
If you already installed your files and you would like to update them instead. Then use update instead of install.
By default Composer will create a new folder named vendor in your project root and download all the requested files into this directory.
After composer has been installed, your document structure should look something like this:
|-- app
|-- public
| `-- index.php
|-- vendor
| `-- phalcon
| `-- incubator
| `-- docs
| `-- Library
| `-- tests
|-- composer.json
Installation via Github
Create a folder named vendor in your project root directory. And also create the folder phalcon inside this folder.
|-- app
|-- public
| `-- index.php
|-- vendor
| `-- phalcon
Now navigate inside the phalcon folder and clone the Incubator from the Github repository.
git clone https://github.com/phalcon/incubator.git
By default, the above command will download the latest version of Phalcon. If you'd like to download an earlier version you can simply add the --branch parameter to the command, followed by the required branch version.
git clone https://github.com/phalcon/incubator.git --branch 2.0.9
Installation via the manual way
If the above methods are confusing for you and you like to do stuff manually, you can easily download the repository from Github and place the files inside the vendor/phalcon/, in your project root.
|-- app
|-- public
| `-- index.php
|-- vendor
| `-- phalcon
