I'm not allowed to install Composer on my server at work. Bureaucracy! Also, it's not connected to the internet. It's a company intranet server and I'm not a sys admin for it.
Am I going to experience high levels of difficulty installing and running Laravel without Composer? Should I use another Framework?
I'm quite a basic PHP programmer without too much command line experience to be honest. I'm used to having everything I need for a project contained in one directory - like CodeIgniter for example.
This article is suggesting that there are quite a few required dependencies. Will my Laravel project just fail to run properly without them?
-- UPDATE --
If by chance, there is a way to do it without Composer, then please tell me how I can do this. I downloaded the source files for Laravel from GitHub (like you would do with CodeIgniter) but I get errors when I try and view it on a browser;
Warning: require(/var/www/html/test/laravel/bootstrap/../vendor/autoload.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/html/test/laravel/bootstrap/autoload.php on line 17
