If you really want to get manual (which means you'll need to take care of dependencies), then you unpack the source, cd into the source directory and run; ./configure make make install The configure script will have a much of options, and since you'll want to keep all this non standard stuff in a different directory from the rest you'll want to specify that. Directories like /opt or /usr/local are often used for this purpose.
