Q:

Do Laravel requires Composer to be installed on the server?

I am about to develop an application using Laravel web framework. According to the documentation Composer is the dependency manager required to install the framework but my question is: Does it need to be installed on the server or just uploading the application is enough?

A:

Uploading is enough.
It's very popular approach - to have a separate build server, where the project is being built as a first stage of a building process, and then this already built project is uploaded on a production server.
