I want to contribute to deno without disturbing my libs in linux . Is there a way?

Noob alert
I have been trying to contribute to deno . So i followed these instructions https://deno.land/manual@v1.36.4/references/contributing/building_from_source
and dowloaded the git repo
Now , i don't wanna install dependency globally on my system . So i ended up using dev containers but when i try to build it , it gives the following error:
 running: cd "/workspaces/deno/target/debug/build/libz-ng-sys-8b30a51ed8da1c7e/out/build" && CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="" "cmake" "/usr/local/cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-6f17d22bba15001f/libz-ng-sys-1.1.12/src/zlib-ng" "-DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF" "-DZLIB_COMPAT=OFF" "-DZLIB_ENABLE_TESTS=OFF" "-DWITH_GZFILEOP=ON" "-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/workspaces/deno/target/debug/build/libz-ng-sys-8b30a51ed8da1c7e/out" "-DCMAKE_C_FLAGS= -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -fPIC -m64" "-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/usr/bin/cc" "-DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS= -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -fPIC -m64" "-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/bin/c++" "-DCMAKE_ASM_FLAGS= -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -fPIC -m64" "-DCMAKE_ASM_COMPILER=/usr/bin/cc" "-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug"

  is `cmake` not installed?

  build script failed, must exit now', /usr/local/cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-6f17d22bba15001f/cmake-0.1.50/src/lib.rs:1098:5

TLDR : I tried dev container but it doesn't have cmake and other libs , how do i work with containers while not disturbing my system defaults . I am using fedora 38
