If the modules are available as packages (rpm, deb etc.) you can install
them via your
operating system's packaging system.

If not, you can build them manually, but PostgreSQL itself does not need to
have been
built from source. You will however need various dev packages.

See here for a description of what's needed for this kind of thing:

https://repmgr.org/docs/current/installation-source.html

It's documentation for a specific product, but the principles are the same
for building any extension code.
