You do not necessarily have to do that. you need to look at the structure of your installation package.

It depends on install paths... if they're not in default locations such as /usr or /usr/local then you do have to source that every time (or do something to have that done automatically).

Depending on what shell program you use, see the following (Bash is the most common/popular):

You can source your environment file from one of the environment setup files described.
