How can I install Zephir on Ubuntu?

I would like to install Zephir on my Ubuntu machine.

The goal is to convert some of my existing code into a PHP extension, in order to get the benefits of faster execution.

Any pointers are more than appreciated.

Please note Zephir is currently in Alpha stage and therefore bugs can be expected.

You need to have certain packages installed:

json-c re2c

In the command line type:

sudo apt-get install libjson0 libjson0-dev libjson0-dbg
sudo apt-get install re2c

Once you have the required packages installed, you can generate the parser as follows:

./generate

Compile the extension (this is your code):

./zephir

The code produced is placed in ext/, there you can perform the standard compilation:

cd ext/
sudo ./install
