There may be useful data for the project, which is not distributed as tar archives and is not installed with simple unpacking. The example is install images .iso or directories with binary archives repositories. One may extract libraries from such entities, which will be used as dependencies in your build.

Types and formats of such data sources may differ for each project. There is the form of typical script for the extraction of data from outer sources to the working directory. If it is present in your directory, launch it and study its usage.

        ./any/bin/deploy.sh --help

It will print expected input arguments for supported archives, images or directories, which are available for extraction into the working directory.
