Answer 1

Install Phalcon in Mac OS X from Scratch
Keep in mind that Phalcon is a PHP Framework that improves the power of PHP, it means that Phalcon needs an Apache Web Server running PHP and a couple things more. Also Phalcon provides a developer tools that help to create many things very faster.
Requirements:
Knowledge using the Terminal command line
Knowledge using .profile in
mac
Knowledge using Apache Configurations
Knowledge in Web
development
I am using Mac OS X El Capitan Version 10.11 (15A284)
Step 1 Install XCode
Download XCode from App Store
Install XCode
NOTE: you not need a Developer Account for that
Step 2 Install Command Line Developer Tools
Use your terminal commands line
Run the next command line:
console$ xcode-select --install
Step 3 Install Homebrew
Use your terminal commands line
Run this command line:
console$ ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
Run this command line:
console$ brew doctor
Run this command line:
console$ brew update
Step 4 Install PHP 5X (where X is the minor number version that you need 4, 5 or 6)
Run these commands lines
console$ brew tap homebrew/dupes
console$ brew tap homebrew/versions
console$ brew tap homebrew/homebrew-php
console$ brew tap homebrew/dupes
console$ brew install php5X
console$ brew install homebrew/php/php5X-mcrypt
Step 5 Create your Sites folder in your user folder
Run these commands lines:
console$ mkdir ~/Sites
console$ echo "<?php phpinfo();" > ~/Sites/index.php
Step 6 Create your Developer folder in your user folder
Run this command line :
console$ mkdir ~/Developer
Step 7 Setup your Apache Web Server
Open your HTTPD.conf with your favorite Text Editor for example i use ATOM
Run this command line:
console$ sudo atom /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
In your httpd.conf search and uncomment that one
LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/apache2/mod_rewrite.so
Comment or delete this line (remember use # for comment)
LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so
Insert this new line
LoadModule php5_module /usr/local/opt/php56/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so
Change this lines
User _www
Group _www
For these other
User your_username
Group staff
Change this lines too
DocumentRoot "/Library/WebServer/Documents"
<Directory "/Library/WebServer/Documents">
For these other
DocumentRoot "/Users/your_username/Sites"
<Directory "/Users/your_username/Sites">
Also change this line too
AllowOverride none
For this one
AllowOverride All
Run this command line to start apache server:
console$ sudo apachectl start
Run this command line to restart apache server:
console$ sudo apachectl restart
Run this command line to stop apache server:
console$ sudo apachectl stop
Test this in your favorite browser
http://localhost/
Step 8 Setup your PHP ini
Open your php.ini (where X is the minor number version that you need)
Run this command line to open your php ini (I use atom, but you can use nano, sublime, etc):
console$ sudo atom /usr/local/etc/php/5.X/php.ini
go to your date.timezone and add the correct timezone, Mac OS X has not default setup for that
Step 9 Installing MySQL
Download lastest version of MySQL Communiti Server from dev.mysql.com
Install the dmg file
Use this commands in command line to use your MySQL
console$ sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server start
Use this commands in command line to set the root password
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'yourpasswordhere'
Step 10 Install GIT and your Profile file
Run this command line, to install GIT:
console$ brew install git
Create your .profile
console$ sudo atom ~/.profile
Add your the paths (I have my personal commands in ~/Developer/bin, but you can use whatever path for your personal commands)
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/mysql/bin:/usr/local/opt/php56/bin:'~/Developer/bin
Step 11 Finally Install Phalcon Framework
Run this command line to prepare phalcon package in your mac os x,
(where X is the minor number version that you need):
console$ brew install php5X php5X-phalcon
Now you need to clone cphalcon code, you can do that in your favorite folder I prefer use my Developer folder in ~/Developer then run this command line, to clone the cphalcon code:
console$ git clone --depth=1 git://github.com/phalcon/cphalcon.git
Now go to cphalcon/build folder (in my case is ~/Developer/cphalcon/build), first go to the folder where you have your git clone and then run this command line, to go there:
console$ cd cphalcon/build
Now compile and install the cphalcon extension, for that run this command line:
console$ sudo ./install
Add the extension in your php ini file php.ini
run this command line to open your php.ini (in my case i use atom but you can use your favorite text editor, and remember X is the minor number version of php):
console$ sudo atom /usr/local/etc/php/5.X/php.ini
Add the extension in your php.ini
extension=phalcon.so
Restart your Apache Web Server and open with your browser your localhost
Step 12 Install Phalcon Developer tools
Clone the phalcon developer tools project from github, you can do that in your favorite folder, I have used my Developer folder in ~/Developer, so go to the folder of your choice and run this command:
console$ git clone https://github.com/phalcon/phalcon-devtools.git
Be shure that the folder is the right name phalcon-devtools, and run these commands (I use my Developer folder to clone my phalcon-devtools, but you can use your favorite folder), now run this command to create the link to execute:
ln -s ~/Developer/phalcon-devtools/phalcon.php /usr/local/sbin/phalcon
give the permisions with this command
chmod ugo+x /usr/local/sbin/phalcon
or Create your ~/Developer/bin folder
add the link with this command:
ln -s ~/Developer/phalcon-devtools/phalcon.php /usr/local/bin/phalcon
and give the permisions to that folder:
chmod ugo+x ~/Developer/bin/phalcon
Test your phalcon developer tools running this command line
console$ phalcon commands
NOTE1: to activate your profile you need to run this command:
console$ . ~/.profile
NOTE2: restart your apache server:
console$ sudo apachectl restart
Well i know that is a lot maybe there is some mistakes but I try to cover everything from the scratch.
I hope that this post will be helpful.

Answer 2

Phalcon extension does not provide the phalcon command line utility. To get the phalcon command line utility you need to install Phalcon Developer Tools for Mac from this link below http://docs.phalconphp.com/en/latest/reference/mactools.html

Answer 3

Did you restart the webserver post installation?
Alternatively, it's easily installed on mac using homebrew:
$brew search phalcon
$brew install php56-phalcon

Answer 4

This is what I did to install Phalcon Developer-Tools for Mac 10.9:
Step 1
Using terminal, clone the devtools into your preferable location, I used the default document root.
$cd /Library/WebServer/Documents/
$git clone https://github.com/phalcon/phalcon-devtools.git
Step 2
Edit or create ~/.bash_profile if you don't have one.
export PTOOLSPATH=/Library/WebServer/Documents/phalcon-devtools
export PATH="$PTOOLSPATH:$PATH"
Step 3
$sudo ln -s /Library/WebServer/Documents/phalcon-devtools/phalcon.sh /Library/WebServer/Documents/phalcon-devtools/phalcon
$chmod +x /Library/WebServer/Documents/phalcon-devtools/phalcon
Please make sure you change all the path above (/Library/WebServer/Documents/) using yours.
Now try phalcon command again in the terminal. I hope it works :).
