okay guys I will get 8.2.13, so would running the install.pl would be different.
 
I will try and see if I can compile and run as mentioned from the docs. But would there be any script after install.pl to run the postmaster, initDB
 
Thanks.

No, there wouldn't.  Going from 8.2.4 to 8.2.latest should be
painless, or nearly so.  It's when the first two numbers change that
behaviour changes.  Generally speaking a point release is just
security patches and bug fixes. On some very rare occasions there is
some behavioural change, but that's very rare and prominantly listed
in the release notes.
