Deploying from source code gives you greater control over the installation process and allows you to specify exactly which components are installed as well as being able to modify the code.
Please note that deploying from source code can be more time-consuming and require more technical expertise than using pre-built packages. If you are only going to use the software as is we recommend any of our Container or Helm deployment options.
If you want to contribute code, contributors send patches, under the LGPLv2.1+ license, as pull requests.
