then build RPM or isolate as suggested, so that you can manage the
installed software easier later (for example if you have to update)
I can't say why, but it was way easier in CentOS (RPM) than Ubuntu, Devuan, MX
(apt) to compile from source and keep it updated that way. It wasn’t until I
switched to non-systemd Debian derivatives that I ever saw a need to build a
package.
