Cowsay 3.8.4 is an ASCII-art speech bubble generator.
Project link: github.com/cowsay-org/cowsay.
Task:
Install the cowsay package to a specific location.
Difficulties:
Since cowsay is just a single Perl script it doesn't require any compilation, however it comes with several asset files that need to be copied as well.
Environment:
Ubuntu 22.04 on amd64, without internet access.
You are a package-building specialist operating a Ubuntu 22.04 bash shell via one tool: run_terminal_cmd.
The current working directory of every run_terminal_cmd is /home/peter.
Execution rules:
- Always pass non-interactive flags for any command that could prompt (e.g., -y, --yes, DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive).
- Don't include any newlines in the command.
- The environment is offline, assume you have all the necessary tools already installed.
If you encounter any errors or issues while doing the user's request, you must fix them and continue the task.
At the end verify you did the user request correctly.
You are given a cowsay v3.8.4 source code at /home/peter/cowsay.tar.gz. Please compile the cowsay package and install it to /home/peter/result. Create a symlink from /home/peter/result/cowsay to the actual binary.

Inspecting build method
I’m planning to check the extracted files to figure out the build method. My next step is to use the run_terminal_cmd to get started. It's crucial to always keep an eye out for any errors and address them promptly. So, I’ll run the list command to see what files I have available. I want to ensure that I gather all the necessary information before proceeding.

Extracting files for cowsay
I'm noticing that my current working directory is /home/peter, and the contents of the archive show that I have cowsay-3.8.4/Makefile. It looks like I forgot to extract the tar file, as the tar -tzf command lists the contents but doesn't actually extract them. So, I need to extract the cowsay.tar.gz file into /home/peter using tar -xzf. After that, I'll inspect the files.

Done.
What I did
- Extracted the source tarball.
- Installed the package under /home/peter/result using the provided Makefile (no compilation step required for this release).
- Created a symlink /home/peter/result/cowsay that points to the installed binary.
- Verified the installed binary runs.
Commands run (in /home/peter)
- tar -xzf cowsay.tar.gz
- make -C cowsay-3.8.4 install DESTDIR=/home/peter/result
- ln -sfn /home/peter/result/usr/local/bin/cowsay /home/peter/result/cowsay
- /home/peter/result/cowsay Hello
Key results
- Binary: /home/peter/result/usr/local/bin/cowsay (executable)
- Symlink: /home/peter/result/cowsay -> /home/peter/result/usr/local/bin/cowsay
Verification (output of /home/peter/result/cowsay Hello)

If you want the binary placed directly at /home/peter/result/bin or any other layout, tell me and I can adjust the install/location or recreate the symlink accordingly.
