What is the best way to install programs from source ?

I wanted to try the LyLy login manager https://github.com/fairyglade/ly, but I'm not sure how I can install this since it's not like an rpm or a flatpak.

Could it be a solution to make a script that will run at build-time and do the following :

• install required dependencies for compilation (zigzig, libclibc ...)
• clone the repository
• compile the programs
• copy binaries and systemd file to the right folder

Stages

A stage is a separate image build flow executed in parallel with the main build.
