If you have shared server and you are not able to install composer and run cmd to install a new package or update an existing package.

You can one thing by installing composer on your local machine and install(ex composer require package/name) or update(ex composer update package/name) all the packages, then upload your vendor directory on the server with your code. it will work for you same as in your local environment.

NOTE: I strongly recommend that you should use the Laravel with the composer, it is an important part of laravel and you can try to convince your client to provide a server that supports laravel. Please check the link below and you can find the server requirements. https://laravel.com/docs/5.5#installation
