+# clue/phar-composer [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/clue/phar-composer.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/clue/phar-composer)
+
+Simple phar creation for your projects managed via composer.
+
+It takes your existing project's `composer.json` and builds an executable phar
+for your project among with its bundled dependencies.
+
+* Create a single executable phar archive, including its dependencies
+* Automated build process
+* Zero additional configuration
+
+## Usage
+
+Once clue/phar-composer is [installed](#install), you can simply invoke it via command line like this:
+
+```bash
+$ php phar-composer.phar build ~/path/to/your/project
+```
+
+## Install
+
+You can grab a copy of clue/phar-composer in either of the following ways.
+
+### As a phar (recommended)
+
+You can simply download a pre-compiled and ready-to-use version as a Phar
+to any directory:
+
+```bash
+$ wget http://www.lueck.tv/phar-composer/phar-composer.phar
+```
+
+
+> If you prefer a global (system-wide) installation without having to type the `.phar` extension
+each time, you may simply invoke:
+> 
+> ```bash
+> $ chmod 0755 phar-composer.phar
+> $ sudo mv phar-composer.phar /usr/local/bin/phar-composer`
+> ```
+>
+> You can verify everything works by running:
+> 
+> ```bash
+> $ phar-composer --version
+> ```
+
+#### Updating phar
+
+There's no separate `update` procedure, simply overwrite the existing phar with the new version downloaded.
+
