HI, I am new with Silverstripe CMS so I don´t really know how to use Composer to install a module.
Also there is no way to simply download a module anywhere ?
Where do i put this for example ?:
composer require silverstripe/userforms dev-master

Composer would have to be installed on your server. And the you would type this from the command line in your site root.
Mostly you can download modules as zip packages from github:
Find the link to the github depository on the SilverStripe addons page for the selected module (see next to 'Homepage:) Then on GitHub, look for the green button on the right (clone or download) and select 'download zip'
Modules often come in different versions, supporting different versions of SilverStripe. On github you can select different 'branches' and/or 'tags' (grey-ish button on the left) and check the README displayed underneath. Note that the 'master' branch may sometimes be somewhat experimental - or already aiming at SilverStripe 4!
EDIT & WARNING:
Often modules may depend on other modules being present. Each module has a composer.json file, optionally with a list of requirements, that you'd have to download as well. Normally Composer would take care of that for you. Be aware that these dependencies may have their own dependencies, and some of them may be from external parties. So I'd still advise to use composer if at all possible.
