Many Linux open source projects provide only source code releases. To be able to use them the users need to download the source code and to build it, usually by executing steps like: ./configure,make and make install.

Some users prefer this way because they have the chance to configure the software by passing specific arguments to the ./configure script. It is also the preferred way from security point of view — the person responsible for managing the system is certain that this is the original version of the source code and no one added anything on top.
