Is it possible to install Laravel without Composer?

Question

Laravel

Why is there no link to the archive with all Laravel files on the developer's site, like, for example, on the Yii site? Is it possible to somehow install it without Composer, just by unpacking the archive into the right folder? I downloaded the archive on github, but after installing index.php it gives errors. The "vendor" folder is not in the archive, but it seems to be present.

Because using package managers to manage dependencies is the right approach and you have to force developers to get used to the right things.
Although Laravel is a simple framework, it is aimed at beginners, but with the expectation of growth.
