I installed your Module and the 6 Libraries, but i did not get the correct folder of the libraries. I cannot use Composer.
Steps to reproduce
I installed the Libraries in "modules/csv_serialization/lib". Is that correct? My error.log shows me, it did not find it.
I used the Module Ludwig as an Alternataive to Composer. Ludwig works for me with an another module, but it does not show the 6 libraries of your module.
Do you have a hint, where i have to save the 6 libraries on webserver?
By the way: I checked al lot of Module for WORD-DOC-Export in Drupal9. Your Module is the only one i found, that could work ;-)
Other Modules are actually not updatet for D9 oder does not support the DOC function D9 (only csv etc.).
Thanks for help!

theemstra commentedHi,
Not using composer for maintaining Drupal 8/0 isn't recommended AFAIK, because the libraries can hardly be managed for modules like these, I had never heard of that module before.
If you file a patch I'll test it and add it to the next release.
It appears to be the fact of adding a JSON file.

With composer a vendor-folder will be added, and it adds a autoloader which will make the libraries available. I'm not too sure how ludwig loads the libraries.

mmjvb commentedLudwig is for those that can't use the recommended method. When using Ludwig the dependencies can be downloaded in the module itself. Choose the `download and unpack missing libraries` on admin/reports/packages.
Just like Composer, Ludwig will take care of the autoloading. Contrary to Composer dependencies will be placed by Ludwig with the modules in lib folder.

devad commentedHere is a working Ludwig integration patch.
@theemstra, please review it and consider a commit. If you have more questions about how Ludwig works take a look at:
Ludwig integration developer's guide and FAQ
Ludwig integration is the optimal D8/9 way to add support for Drupal users not familiar with Composer yet.
Ludwig is created and maintained by Drupal Commerce team to solve all kinds of "How can I use this module without Composer?" issues.
