Installing Composer in a Shared Hosting

Anybody know how to install Composer into a Shared Hosting? (I'm using Web Hosting for Students)

Composer is installed in your development environment, so usually your local computer. It installs folders into your project that contain all the code that you need for the dependencies. There is no installation on the server UNLESS you are using the server as an on-line text editor like Cloud9 or Codeanywhere.

That's make sense. Thanks. Is the same when using Laravel?

I think so, but am not positive. I have not done the Laravel course yet. My time has been spent on the forum and a project I tackled that has turned out to be more complicated than I originally thought.
