title: Why can't i use PHP Carbon library without installing using composer?
body: <p>So i have tried to simply include Carbon into my project by simply requiring the autoload.php file in the Carbon package, but then it tells me "symfony/polyfill-ctype/bootstrap.php failed to open stream". OK, so i downloaded the folder from symphony and that error disappears, but then there are other folders / files that it requires, some of which i cannot find on the web.</p>
  
  <p>It is strange that it's not in the Carbon package in the first place!</p>
  
  <p>So i am using PHP version 7.1
  I downloaded the Carbon package from <a href="https://github.com/briannesbitt/Carbon/releases" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/briannesbitt/Carbon/releases</a>
  I followed the instruction on <a href="https://carbon.nesbot.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://carbon.nesbot.com/</a> under the 'Direct download' tab
  I have tried a lot of different versions of Carbon, current and older
  I have zero idea why it is not allowing me to use it...</p>
  
  <p>All i want is to use Carbon and install it in the traditional (outdated) way of including libraries.</p>
  
  <p>I know using composer is a lot better, but do not want to get into the reasons of why i cannot use it in this thread please :)</p>
  
  <p>Any help would be much appreciated</p>
  
  <p>Guys i have very little knowledge of composer and dependencies, this may be the issue i am having...</p>
