You can build your own phar by using Robo tool.

It is documented in http://codeception.com/install

1. Clone from GitHub:
   • git clone git@github.com:Codeception/Codeception.git
2. Install dependencies with Composer
   • cd Codeception
   • curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php
   • php composer.phar install
3. Make your changes
4. Install Robo
   • wget http://robo.li/robo.phar
5. Build package
   • php robo.phar build:phar
