In the following recipe, we will discuss available code generation tools that can be used for creating a multi-module application. We don't need to create the application structure and main components manually.
Before you begin, you need to have Git installed, as well as any DBMS (for example, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and the like), the Phalcon PHP extension (usually it is named php5-phalcon) and a PHP extension, which offers database connectivity support using PDO (for example, php5-mysql, php5-pgsql or php5-sqlite, and the like). You also need to be able to create tables in your database.
To accomplish the following recipe, you will require Phalcon Developer Tools. If you already have it installed, you may skip the first three steps related to the installation and go to the fourth step.
