How can I install Drush without Composer? I've been trying to install Drush for a while but have failed. I have no experience in command line applications.

I've seen quite a few tutorials:


https://www.drupal.org/node/594744
https://www.drupal.org/node/2405811
https://drupalize.me/videos/wonderful-world-composer
https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#installation-windows


but each one says that Composer is required. The catch, I can't seem to get Composer to work either.

Would I ever be able to install Drush, but still work around installing Composer?

Specifications:


Windows 10
Drupal 8.1.8
Cpanel 56.0.33
Php 5.59 (or higher according to this)
Composer Manager 8x-10-rc
This is the simplest solution I have found. 

If you don't want to use composer, follow the instructions here...

Download a Drush release from Github to user folder


wget https://github.com/drush-ops/drush/releases/download/8.1.17/drush.phar


Rename drush.phar to drush


mv drush.phar drush


Find the bin directory


echo $PATH

which shows something like.... /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games

I’ll go with /usr/local/bin


Move drush to the bin


mv drush /usr/local/bin/drush


Change permissions to


chmod +x /usr/local/bin/drush


Test with


drush version
