                                            What is Bitnami ? Bitnami makes it easy to run your favorite server apps anywhere Bitnami is a library of popular server applications and development environments that can be installed with one click, either in your laptop, in a virtual machine or hosted in the cloud. We take care of compiling and configuring the applications and all of their dependencies (third-party libraries, language runtimes, databases) so they work out-of-the-box.

The other advantage is of course in deployment. Using a .phar file you can deploy an entire PHP application by working with just one file, rather than a bunch of files and directories. This is where .phar really shines. Imagine deploying a popular web app like WordPress by simply copying a single .phar file to your web server's root, rather than figuring out how to zip
