Wanted to install Laravel-Excel (Maatwebsite) package manually without composer, but I dont know how.

Why? Because I have a laravel project in a free hosting server setup by other guy, and I can only access using Filezilla to edit/download/upload the codes.

If only Filezilla allow a command prompt that could use "composer update", then it will be easier.

I got solution! I cant use composer on my company because of secure network. But i can download zip form github and install it manual. The below is my example for HTMLPurifier:

  1. download and extract library mews/purifier to vendor directory https://github.com/mewebstudio/Purifier
  2. add below line in vendor/composer/autoload_psr4.php

This sentence will load all of file from vendor/mews/purifier/src and autoload in namespace Mews\Purifier\

'Mews\\Purifier\\' => array($vendorDir . '/mews/purifier/src'),

Sometime you need add library into autoload_namespaces.php intead of, please read in https://getcomposer.org/doc/04-schema.md#autoload

You got Mews\Purifier\Facades\Purifier not found if public config before finish step 3

$ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Mews\Purifier\PurifierServiceProvider"

  1. add below json in vendor/composer/installed.json

This for composer history, providers and aliases will be load in config/app/php for register new provider

{
    "name": "mews/purifier",
    "version": "v2.0.12",
    "type": "library",
    "extra": {
        "laravel": {
            "providers": [
                "Mews\\Purifier\\PurifierServiceProvider"
            ],
            "aliases": {
                "Purifier": "Mews\\Purifier\\Facades\\Purifier"
            }
        }
    },
    "autoload": {
        "psr-4": {
            "Mews\\Purifier\\": "src/"
        }
    }
},

Now you run this config, then vendor/mews/purifier/config will be move to config folder

$ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Mews\Purifier\PurifierServiceProvider"

  1. Add the package to the vendor folder. You can upload it using filezilla
  2. Add a reference in \vendor\composer\autoload_namespaces.php
  3. Add a reference in \vendor\composer\autoload_psr4.php

Source laravel.io

it's easy to do it by following this download the package and set the files in app folder 

YourProject/app/Laravel-Excel/

and then add the path to composer.json in autoload

"autoload": {
    ...
    "classmap": [
        "database/seeds",
        "database/factories"
        "app/Laravel-Excel"
    ],
    ...
},

Run the composer dump-autoload

download the package locally and then upload the package folder (found under vendor) along with the updated composer.json

  • I tried your method yesterday. Download the package, take the maatwebsite folder in vendor, edit config/app, edit composer.json, but it produce an error – begineeeerrrr Aug 08 '17 at 10:50
  • Class 'Maatwebsite\Excel\ExcelServiceProvider' not found. I already put Maatwebsite\Excel\ExcelServiceProvider::class, at providers in config/app and 'Excel' => Maatwebsite\Excel\Facades\Excel::class, at aliases. And I already uploaded the vendor file – begineeeerrrr Aug 08 '17 at 10:57
  • are all the packages currently installed working properly or they're all throwing the same error? – Ali Aug 08 '17 at 10:58
  • all the other package that currently installed is working perfectly, just this Laravel/Excel package are not – begineeeerrrr Aug 08 '17 at 11:00
  • I think you need to run compose dump-autoload on your local machine and re-upload the entire vendor folder – Ali Aug 08 '17 at 11:05
  • Produces error Class 'Maatwebsite\Excel\ExcelServiceProvider' not found, done exactly what you told. Here what I did, I make a new laravel project file, install Laravel/Excel (Maatwebsite) package, edit config/app, composer publish. Okay so far locally done. Now I upload the vendor(maatwebsite), edit config/app, edit composer.json, upload excel.php into config\ – begineeeerrrr Aug 08 '17 at 11:16

Depending on how strict the server is, you could SSH into your Server. But doing it locally then uploading the required files is usually the way to go.

You might need to run composer autodump if you don't wipe the cache.

  • The laravel project is everything inside the server and i dont have it locally. And i am not allowed download everything in the server and reupload the whole thing, how to do it manually? – begineeeerrrr Aug 08 '17 at 10:58
  • @begineeeerrrr If you don't have it locally you could create a new laravel project and composer install the package you want. Find it in the vendor file and upload it to the site. Edit the required live config/app so that its links to its ServiceProvider and Facades and then reupload that. If you still get an error then a composer dumpautoload is required. You should, if you can, have the whole project locally and work using XAMPP or something similar using a vhost. Much better productivity. – connormcwood Aug 08 '17 at 11:03

If everything works on local environment then copy your package and composer folder to server which is located at vendor
