You need to make sure the tree-sitter library is installed, and so are
the grammar libraries for the programming languages you want to use.
Then just rebuild Emacs; --enable-tree-sitter is ON by default, so if
you have the library installed, the build process with DTRT.

The above is not different from any other optional library, such as
GnuTLS or librsvg.  The exact commands to install them depend on the
distro you are using, and we don't describe them in our documentation.
