Confusing times ahead!

So: am I supposed to install tree-sitter from github or from debian's
package manager?
I first did the package-manager version, then pulled from github and
installed that -- configure shows that tree-sitter is detected -- but
calling any of the tree-sitter modes, eg c-ts-mode barfs with an error
saying that support is not available.
