At this stage, it’s not possible to install Kimai by downloading a ZIP file and uploading the files to your web server. You need to have SSH access to your server. This doesn’t necessarily mean you need a VPS. Some shared hosts give you SSH access, through which you should be able to install Composer and Kimai just fine.
