Sorry is that what you are looking for?

Just install it locally via composer and then do composer installon your server
There is also a little trick to actually install it directly from their repository without copying files. You need to add this to your composer.json
"repositories": [
{
"type": "composer",
"url": "https://nova.laravel.com"
}
],
and also create new file called auth.json
and put your credentials in there:
{
"http-basic": {
"nova.laravel.com": {
"username": "foo",
"password": "bar"
}
}
}
this way simple composer install will work and also update will work ;-)
Hope it helps!
