`ocular.phar` doens't work with PHP 8? about ocular

[schmittjoh]

Yes, the ocular.phar is a very old version. I would recommend to use composer to install ocular either globally in your environment or as a dev dependency, then composer will get the right version for your PHP version.

With the ocular.phar distribution we are bound to break things for some people as we do not know in what environment you will run this unfortunately.

Since you know this doesn't actually work, it might be time to update your official documentation then? Your PHP example still shows exactly the thing I'm doing, which doesn't work anymore.

You probably should show both of those examples in your documentation.

Some people might want this as a dev dependency - I personally would prefer installing this globally, since the dependency (probably?) isn't useful for local development and primarily intended for CI.
