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.

Example:
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.

WordPress Core Installer

[!NOTE] This is a fork of johnpbloch/wordpress-core-installer with fixes to enhance compatibility with roots/wordpress.

A custom Composer plugin to install WordPress core outside of vendor.

This installer is meant to support a rather specific WordPress installation setup in which WordPress is installed in a subdirectory (see the WordPress codex on that subject) and in which the location of WP_CONTENT_DIR and WP_CONTENT_URL have been customized to be outside of WordPress core (see the WordPress codex on that subject). This is because composer will delete your whole wp-content directory every time it updates core if you don't separate the two. If that installation setup isn't what you are looking for, then this installer is probably not something you will want to use.

For more information on using Composer with WordPress, check out our Composer WordPress resources. Use WP Packages to install WordPress plugins and themes via Composer, and see the roots/wordpress documentation for WordPress core installation options.
