I've never tried, but it looks like you can:

yup -- that's where everything is. the "installer" command should be
able to unpack it.

If you ndo need to build from source, see this message for a bit more info:

there are a few prerequisites you need to install first...

Either way, you should be able to build a start-to-finish build script.
