Cannot create Phar from ZFTool of Zend Framework 2

Question

The Phar Archive of the ZFTool can be downloaded from GitHub or created manually.

When I try to complite the Phar on my own, I get this error:

user@machine:/lib/ZendFramework/ZFTool# bin/create-phar
PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught exception 'UnexpectedValueException' with message 'RecursiveDirectoryIterator::__construct(/lib/ZendFramework/ZFTool/vendor): failed to open dir: No such file or directory' in /lib/ZendFramework/ZFTool/bin/create-phar:65
Stack trace:
#0 /lib/ZendFramework/ZFTool/bin/create-phar(65): RecursiveDirectoryIterator->__construct('/lib/ZendFramew...')
#1 /lib/ZendFramework/ZFTool/bin/create-phar(26): addDir(Object(Phar), '/lib/ZendFramew...', '/lib/ZendFramew...')
#2 {main}
  thrown in /lib/ZendFramework/ZFTool/bin/create-phar on line 65

It cannot find the folder /lib/ZendFramework/ZFTool/vendor...

Am I doing something wrong?

Answer 1

Here's the procedure I use to create the PHAR archive:

git clone git://github.com/zendframework/ZFTool.git
cd ZFTool
curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
php composer.phar install
./bin/create-phar

You probably missed the composer installation, since it does not find the vendor directory.
