The tarball that those instructions will download and extract has all the library dependencies included in it. Should just work (tm), whether or not you're using Docker. I think you'll need to manually install git for the package manager to work, that part will be distribution-dependent. We'll eventually get rid of that requirement too, "just" needs somebody to rewrite almost the entire package manager.
