After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

Informations about the package magento-composer-installer

Magento Composer Installer

This is a fork of the Magento Composer Installer repo that provides support for Magento 2 components (modules, themes, language packages, libraries and components).

In the component's composer.json, specify:

Supported Components

The following list explains the use of type in composer.json.

Magento Module

"type": "magento2-module"

Example:

Final location is <magento root>/app/code/Magento/Core

Magento Theme

Magento Language Package

"type": "magento2-language"

Installation location: app/i18n

Example:

Magento Library

"type": "magento2-library"

Support for libraries located in lib/internal instead of in the vendor directory.

Example:

Final location is <magento_root>/lib/internal/Magento/Framework

Magento Component

"type": "magento2-component"

Installation location: Magento root directory

Example:

Final location is <magento_root>/dev/tools/Magento/Tools/Migration

Autoload

After handling all Magento components, <magento_root>/app/etc/vendor_path.php specifies the path to your vendor directory.

This information allows the Magento application to utilize the Composer autoloader for any libraries installed in the vendor directory. The path to vendor varies between particular installations and depends on the magento_root setting for the Magento Composer installer. That's why it should be generated for each installation.

You must run composer install to install dependencies for a new application or composer update to update dependencies for an existing application.

Deployment Strategy

The Magneto Composer Installer uses the copy deployment strategy. It copies each file or directory from the vendor directory to its designated location based on the extra/map section in the component's composer.json.

There are other deployment strategies that could be used; however, we don't guarantee that any of them will work.

Usage extra/chmod

The following example shows how you can set specific permissions for files.

Example:

mask is a bit mask for chmod command

path is a path to file relative to the Magento root folder
