Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It's not as easy to keep and shuffle around composer global tools as it is PHAR tools.
Describe the solution you'd like
It would be great if you folks could distribute this as a PHAR app.
Additional context
I've used box-project/box a great deal and it's an easy way to get started.
