Can I Install Laravel without using Composer?

You cannot install laravel local without composer in your project.

On this site you can download everything what you can download also with the composer build tool. But you do not need a composer installation. Of course laravel is also present there: https://php-download.com/package/laravel/laravel

If you have shared server and you are not able to install composer and run cmd to install a new package or update an existing package.

You can one thing by installing composer on your local machine and install(ex composer require package/name) or update(ex composer update package/name) all the packages, then upload your vendor directory on the server with your code. it will work for you same as in your local environment.

NOTE: I strongly recommend that you should use the Laravel with the composer, it is an important part of laravel and you can try to convince your client to provide a server that supports laravel. Please check the link below and you can find the server requirements. https://laravel.com/docs/5.5#installation

If you really wanted to, you could do all the work that Composer does manually, but you definitely should not. Installing Composer is easy, it's just a matter of getting the composer.phar file and running commands on it.

You do not need to run Composer on your server as well as locally, once you run composer install or composer update your project will have all its dependencies available and you can just upload it straight to your server.
