To get the code for bash. The nice thing about the bash source is that it comes with a configured script and is ready to go. (cough. Are you listening OpenSSH?)

You will want to extract and compile.
root@nodex:~/xx# tar -xvzf bash-5.2.32.tar.gz
Enter the directory.
cd bash-5.2.32
run ./configure which will examine the environment and create an appropriate Makefile
./configure
Not much left to do but make it.
make
Tip: Just to be sure, I want to remind you that if you are performing this on a virtualized machine, you might benefit from taking a snapshot of it so that you have a fall back position.
To install you can run make install.
make install
And then reboot
