On the other hand, PHPBrew provides an easy way to install these kind of extensions:\n\n```\n$ phpbrew ext install https://github.com/phalcon/cphalcon\n```\n\nBut if I do this, the new extension isn't seen by my virtual environment, because it's installed inside the PHPBrew directory tree (and shims), not inside the VirtPHP ones.\n\nNow, I obviously could install Phalcon globally, and only _after_ that create a new virtual environment, copying the current setup (extensions included), but this kind of defeats the purpose of a tool like VirtPHP: it would be better if I could install Phalcon only on those projects that actually use that framework (and without much hassle, I mean).\n\nSo, is it possible to add a functionality like the one available in PHPBrew, to install extensions not belonging to PECL?\n\nThank you very much!\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/michelezamuner","@type":"Person","name":"michelezamuner"},"datePublished":"2015-10-08T14:35:46.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":3},"url":"https://github.com/66/virtphp/issues/66"}
