Like in a text file called INSTALL in the directory you get when you
"tar -zxf" the tar.gz archive of the sources, or in the top-level
directory of your git repository?

This is where the information for compilation/installation is usually
to be found in any package normally distributed in source form. Then,
usually, you also have another text file called README which
summarises what your package does, which file is what, and where the
user can find any additional relevant information. And finally you
have a text file called COPYING in which you find all the distribution
information (usually, just the license that covers the software).

This is the norm. Or, to be more precise, this has been the unwritten,
shared, accepted norm followed by the overwhelming majority of
software source packages distributed with an open source or a free
software licence, at least in the last 25 years or so...
