How can I install this extension via composer.json file ? Itried to install with composer require with only name of the extension I saw in the composer.json file, but it didn't work.I need to install this extension with composer.json file.Thanks in advance.

You need to add required libraries in your magento's root > composer.json file from your modules composer.json file.

After that you need to run composer update command.
