Not really. Evolution as a project doesn't produce executables because
they depend considerably on the specific environment of a distro. The
closest to a distro-agnostic executable is a Flatpack.

You can, of course, compile it yourself - it is after all Open Source
software.  However it is not something for the faint-hearted and comes
with a whole load of other dependencies.  It is not something
recommended unless you have lots of experience with compiling complex
GUI code.
