The DMD compiler needs to know where to find the vibed source 
files. The most easiest way is to use Dub.

If you want to avoid Dub you have to place vibed and the source 
code files of all other depencies vibed has, into a path DMD is 
able to find.
This was my recommendation.

But what is the reason for you to avoid Dub? Vibed D has multiple 
dependencies, getting it work without Dub is quite hard in case 
you just start with D development.
