The official Lepton 1.9.16 release page is:

https://github.com/lepton-eda/lepton-eda/releases/tag/1.9.16-20210731

Here, you have to download the following files:

https://github.com/lepton-eda/lepton-eda/releases/download/1.9.16-20210731/lepton-eda-1.9.16.tar.gz
https://github.com/lepton-eda/lepton-eda/releases/download/1.9.16-20210731/lepton-eda-1.9.16.tar.gz.asc

If you use firefox, for example, to download the files, it can put
them somewhere in /home/yourusername/Downloads, YMMV.

Really, using some command line (non-GUI) utilities would be even
simpler, e.g.:

$ wget the_link_above.tar.gz

or

$ curl the_link_above.tar.gz

would do the job quickly just in the directory you want to
download the file to.

Please do NOT download 'Source code' zip and tar.gz files created
by github.  They're just snapshots of the source code tree and
some files necessary for deploy are missing in them.

Next, you may want to check if the downloaded archive is
correct. Run:

$ gpg --verify lepton-eda-1.9.16.tar.gz.asc

in the directory you put the files to.

If anything is correct, move the archive into a desired place, and
untar it:

$ tar -xvzf lepton-eda-1.9.16.tar.gz

Then cd to the source directory and do ./configure:

$ cd lepton-eda-1.9.16/
$ ./configure

It should success. Then:

$ make && sudo make install

Please note:

No 'autogen.sh' or 'autoreconf -ivf' (which means
--in-vitro-fertilization, as explained to me by JPD) steps should
be used.  Those steps are used ONLY, when you're building Lepton
from git sources.

BTW, one more note.  Sometimes, when some versions of some
libraries change, you have to notify your OS about it by using:

$ sudo ldconfig

And, if you're interested in what Debian does about lepton
packages, you may look at the git history of the lepton-eda
package in Debian here:

https://salsa.debian.org/electronics-team/lepton-eda

Another note: you don't have to compile 1.9.16 for Debian since it
is already in testing.

HTH
