you don't need anything. The binary is a compiled executable that happens to use library.zip. As you already tested, even with the missing gluon folder everything works fine, that is precisely the point of having a binary. If instead you have python installed and you want to play with additional libs and/or the source code, than you can ditch the binary version and use the source one.
