Instead, it will use the prebuilt assets from the specified directory. We already publish prebuilt UI assets as part of our release artifacts (e.g., `prometheus-web-ui-3.0.0-beta.0.tar.gz`). Users can download this tarball, extract it, and point the `PREBUILT_ASSETS_STATIC_DIR` to the extracted folder. This reduces build complexity, especially for users who don't have a development environment for front-end builds. For example, you can use the command: `make PREBUILT_ASSETS_STATIC_DIR=static build` where `static` ...
