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.

We need to compile cowsay from source tar.gz. Steps: extract tar.gz, go into source directory. Usually cowsay is a Perl script, but version 3.8.4 likely includes a Makefile to install. We'll compile and install to /home/peter/result. Use prefix. Usually make install PREFIX=... or make install DESTDIR=... We'll inspect contents.

We need to extract tar.gz, compile cowsay v3.8.4, install to /home/peter/result, and create symlink /home/peter/result/cowsay pointing to the binary.
Let's inspect tar.

We extracted tar. Need to see directory.

We need to compile and install to /home/peter/result. The Makefile uses DESTDIR variable for staging. So we can run make install DESTDIR=/home/peter/result after ensuring prefix etc. The binary is in bin/cowsay, which is a perl script? Probably just copy. No compilation needed. So run make install with appropriate flags. Also need to create symlink from /home/peter/result/cowsay to the actual binary. The install will place binary at /home/peter/result/usr/local/bin/cowsay (since default prefix is /usr/local). But we want symlink at /home/peter/result/cowsay pointing to that binary. So after install, create symlink.
Let's run make install.

We need to create a symlink from /home/peter/result/cowsay to the actual binary. The binary installed at /home/peter/result/usr/local/bin/cowsay. So create symlink /home/peter/result/cowsay -> that path. Also maybe ensure result directory exists (it does). Let's create symlink.

We need to verify installation. Check that binary works.

The cowsay source was extracted, compiled, and installed into /home/peter/result.
A symlink /home/peter/result/cowsay now points to the installed binary /home/peter/result/usr/local/bin/cowsay.
You can run it, e.g.:
```bash
/home/peter/result/cowsay Hello
```
