Answer 1

Here's how I succeeded in installing maatwebsite\excel package from composer in Laravel Framework:

1. I download composer.json file and composer.lock file from my remote server.
2. I run composer update from local command prompt (then wait until all the install process finished).
3. Upload composer.lock file to remote server.
4. run composer install on remote server (then wait until all process finished).
5. DONE
