Hence the need to build themselves. It boils down to: download the source, install the dependencies, (configure,) compile, install. In this case, you need make/cmake. You could also crosscompile (on another machine), but that's trickier. If you've never compiled something yourself, maybe start with a known-good configuration from your distribution's sources.
I've never compiled anything but time is not an issue. Will try follow some instructions.
Tho can I compile for riscv on my x88_64 laptop?
What you are intending to do is cross-compiling. Maybe this resource is useful for you.
