README

Provisions Phalcon 5 on a server and wires it into popular hosting panels, so hosts can pre-install Phalcon and more developers adopt TAVP.

What's included

• install_phalcon5.sh — Ubuntu/Debian VPS installer (root required). Auto-detects PHP version, installs Phalcon C-extension, configures web server. Supports HestiaCP hosting panel.

Why this matters

The easier it is for hosts to install Phalcon, the more TAVP sites exist, the more developers use TAVP, and the more the ecosystem grows.

Requirements

• Root access (sudo or root container)
• Debian/Ubuntu-based system
• PHP 8.3+

Usage

Quick install (via tavp command)

# Auto-detect PHP version
tavp phalcon:install

# Pin PHP version
tavp phalcon:install 8.3

# Pin PHP + Phalcon version
tavp phalcon:install 8.3 5.16.0

Direct script usage

# Auto-detect PHP version
sudo sh install_phalcon5.sh

# Pin PHP version
sudo sh install_phalcon5.sh 8.3

# Pin PHP + Phalcon version
sudo sh install_phalcon5.sh 8.3 5.16.0

In Lando/Docker container

# Run as root
lando ssh -u root -c "cd /app && sh install_phalcon5.sh"

Supported environments

Testing

# Test in Lando container
