Did you install Composer and the ElasticSearch PHP client? If not do these steps

Install composer in your project root. curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

Create composer.json in your project root containing:

{
    "require" : {
        "nervetattoo/elasticsearch" : ">=2.0"
    }
}

Run ./composer.phar install

That phar file will check your composer.json file for libraries to download to the vendor folder

In your index.php of Phalcon project paste this

require '../vendor/autoload.php';

That autoload.php is from composer which registers the elasticsearch php client and other libraries. Check to see if the path of autoload.php is properly set Now you can use the class \ElasticSearch\Client in the whole of your project. Example in your indexAction

public function indexAction(){
    $es = new \ElasticSearch\Client::connection('https://127.0.0.1:9200/myindex/mytype');
}
