Good night @askvortsov , your observation about the php qualify me, I ended up not paying attention to the version of my php I was using version 5 I made the ssh access and I updated to 7.4 my problem with the phar was solved! however, when trying to run the command to install the flarum, I had a new problem with the version of my composer my host is with version 1.8 when running the command asks me to update to version 2, I tried to perform the update but I was not successful because my hosting is shared, i tried to contact the hosting company (hostgator) but they informed that they cannot update the hosting composer the only thing i can do is install v2 in the installation directory which didn’t solve either I'm looking for other ways to install it until I'm able to buy a vps plan, I'm here from Brazil and as vps hosting has a very high value, from already I thank you, Thank you!
