# Overview
To provided a more easy obtain executable binary package for https://github.com/phacility/arcanist
## The problem
1. Install arcanist need clone both arcanist git repository and libphutil.
2. It takes too long time to clone these two repository
3. It not very stable for update to a latest release version (arcanist), git pull may bring some not stable commit in.
4. we using svn , not git as our VCS. so we do not expect to install git on each team member's pc
## Try to resolve problem
Is it possible arc client bin released as a phar package?
if we can release a pre-built phar file, it will be more easier to deploy on each team members pc.
For example. the phpunit.phar and the composer.phar very easy to obtain. and easy to running .
We can gain these benefit from the new phar package.
* Easy to download, just one phar package
* Easy to deploy. just copy it to each members pc
* Easy to use, just run
```
php arc.phar
```
* Easy to update, Just download new phar file and replace it
* Not required to install git ..
