### Generating a PHAR File

It is possible to generate a PHAR archive by running:

```bash

php bin/compile-phar.php

```

which will produce a file named `bin/google-merchant-validator.phar` that can be distributed.

**Note**: when using a PHAR file path to the XML file must be provided as an absolute path:

```bash

php google-merchant-validator.phar /absolute/path/to/xml-feed.xml

```
