Can someone guide me through an installation of this extension without a lot of geek speak?

I don't have a week to learn all of that just to use this extension.

I have installed Composer via the Windows exe file, directed at my PHP.exe inside the XAMPP installation I am running MediaWiki on.

I have a JSON file inside the MediaWiki folder that has two requires in it. SESP 1.5 and SBL 1.4.

However when I run Composer Update, it blithely ignores the composer.json file. Tells me I don't have some global composer.json in my Roaming directory.

Then proceeds to spit out something about GIT, and start downloading all of the random stuff that is already inside my Vendor folder.

It runs for hours on end and doesn't get anything at all that mentions those two extensions.

Can someone please either package up the extension/vendor files I need for this so I can just drop them into my MW installation folder? Or come up with a simpler guide to using Composer that cuts out all the crap I DON'T need.
