You can build the library from datalab teams' content on github:

1. Clone the repository https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/datalab/
2. Run tools/initenv.sh
3. Run sources/build.sh
4. There you have it under sources/build/

Hope this helps. Executing the docker image locally does not work for me at least.
