Getting the latest Emacs (self.emacs)

Okay, so this is probably a stupid question, I use Pop!_OS & the current emacs version is Emacs-27 So, If I had to install the latest one (Emacs-29.1 or even Emacs-30.0.93) what does one have to do, compile it manually ?

Or is there another way ?

There is a snap package which should be more up-to-date, but I'm not sure I would recommend that for an editor. Compiling from source would be fine, as it will default install into /usr/local and shouldn't affect the existing install. Afterwards you may need to update the link to emacs in your /bin folder (manually or via update alternatives) or add the folder where the new emacs is to your path at the front.

Along with the PGP-Key, please Since When I tried to download it from the GNU-FTP there was also a PGP-Signature file (I don't know whose signature to import in case of GNU stuff)
