The beauty of autotools is that users do not need to install them:
tarballs contain everything one needs to configure, build, and install
the thing.
That is indeed the case here:

The above shows that the Autoconf- and Automake-generated files are
indeed present in the tarball, so you don’t need to use the autotools at
all.
HTH!
