Bet this doesn't work anymore, but im sure there is a new workaround with it. I am Having issues as the Require section is much more different, & getting an error code upon the Composer command update.

  [Seld\JsonLint\ParsingException]
  "./composer.json" does not contain valid JSON
  Parse error on line 73:
  ...studio": "^0.10.0" "flagrow/flarum-ext-...
  ---------------------^
  Expected one of: 'EOF', '}', ':', ',', ']'

2svge your composer.json file has broken JSON syntax. This must have happened due to manual editing of the file. There's most likely a comma missing at the end of line 73.

It's very likely that this guide is outdated by the way.

Now that I re-read the original post, it's full of JSON syntax errors. If you try to use things from there, you will have to find and fix each one of them.

clarkwinkelmann I figured so I completely reverted back to my original changes. I was just curious if there was another way to install plugins such as how Pockethold was installed for non-VPS users. Thanks for the info anyways!

Can't we just install extensions locally and then upload the vendors folder?

ikramy also just a note that Composer 2 (which should be possible to setup on your shared hosting pretty easily) is blazing my fast and I have yet to run into the resource errors that I faced CONSTANTLY with Composer 1 on Shared Hosting.

Yes, as well as composer.json and composer.lock. That being said, only the official method is officially recommended.
