create laravel project with laravel installer

I am new to laravel framework,after some search I decided to use laravel 5.1

I read the official document and set the environment,also I install the laravel installer.but when I use laravel installer to create a project, it will use laravel newest version(such as 5.2.*).I want to know how can I specify the laravel version useing laravel installer?

I know I can specify laravel version using composer create-project ...,but for some reason when I using composer I must wait for long time.so is there a way useing laravel installer to create project with specified laravel?
