Interested in creating, playing and testing your own chess engine?
https://github.com/ShailChoksi/lichess-bot is a straight forward way to use any UCI engine with lichess. There are also a few libraries for move generation mine: https://github.com/Disservin/chess-library , libchess: https://github.com/kz04px/libchess , surge: https://github.com/nkarve/surge . These are C++ ones, for rust theres https://github.com/analog-hors/cozy-chess . In python you could use python-chess but its incredibly slow for engine stuff writing your own will probably be faster if you know what you are doing.

Interested in creating, playing and testing your own chess engine?
you can have a look at openbench maybe, https://github.com/AndyGrant/OpenBench . It is currently a testing framework for chess engines (only invited ones) or fishtest. https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests Stockfish testing framework. Both of these test if change A beats the master version using statistics. Both look at the git repository and download it and create/compile the engine, that might be another solution for you.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing surge and OpenBench you can also consider the following projects:
chess-library - C++ chess library
lichess-bot - A bridge between Lichess API and chess engines
