I like using CodeIgniter because I don't need composer. However, I am trying to install Shield for CodeIgniter and I don't find how to install it without composer. Is it possible? Thank you very much.

No, you need composer: from Codeigniter Shield Installation Requirements:
Requirements
- Composer
- Codeigniter v4.2.3 or later
- A created database that you can access via the Spark CLI script
After Installation, you can opt between Command Setup and Manual Setup
note: I'd also recommend to install CI4 with composer, at least for a clean installation on your local host. If your production server is a shared server and composer is difficult/impossible to run, you can create a clone from your localhost.

Yes, it is mentioned in the documentation that Composer is needed, but this does not mean that it is not possible to install it manually. You can install manually, but this is not recommended. I have provided instructions for manual installation in the link below:
