how to stop composer from removing manually installed package

For some reason I'm unable to install Predis package in my project via composer require predis/predis, I have manually downloaded Predis package from https://php-download.com and moved predis folder to the vendor and then updated files inside vendor/composer, it works fine.

However, the problem is when I run composer dump-autoload, this command removes all references of this package from vendor/composer/autoload_psr4.php and autoload_static.php files.

Can someone please help me how can I prevent composer dump-autoload to remove references of this package?

I fixed it by adding following code in vendor/composer/installed.json , I forgot to add it.

    {
    "name": "predis/predis",
    "version": "v1.1.1",
    "version_normalized": "1.1.1.0",

    },
    "dist": {

        "url": "https://api.github.com/repos/nrk/predis/zipball/f0210e38881631afeafb56ab43405a92cafd9fd1",
        "reference": "f0210e38881631afeafb56ab43405a92cafd9fd1",

Instead of copying your package to the vendor directory, you can use "repositories" in install a local package:

{
    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "path",
            "url": "../../packages/my-package"
        }
    ],
    "require": {
        "my/package": "*"
    }
}
