Images is just GAP code, so installing it just needs putting the
source in an appropriate directory.
E.g. GAP's PackageManager (which is itself a GAP package) should be
able to install it for you without
problems.
Or you can put it manually in ~/.gap/pkg/
- or in <whatever prefix>/pkg/ - where you other GAP packages are.

probably an oversight - we keep adding packages to gap_packages in an
ad hoc manner.

In principle, you can install (for your user) any GAP package in ~/.gap/pkg/
(if it needs building, you'd need to figure out where the appropriate
GAP configs file (called sysinfo.gap) lives,
and pass this location to the package's configure)
