We recently installed PostgreSQL 11 on an Ubuntu 18.04 using apt.postgresql.org. Many of our favorite extensions were already available via apt (postgis, ogr_fdw to name a few), but it didn't have the http extension we use a lot. The http extension is pretty handy for querying things like Salesforce and other web api based systems. We'll outline the basic compile and install steps. While it's specific to the http extension, the process is similar for any other extension you may need to compile.
