./configure + make
Specifically, to make sure package foo is installed,
./configure --enable-foo && make build
Or
make foo && make build
These have been around for years, and "sage -f foo"
is a wrapper around these.
If on the other hand you want to install a PyPI package foo (no matter whether
it is a Sage package or not) into Sage venv, you can do
./sage --pip install foo
(this is not too safe, as this may update already installed Sage packages, so
use with a caution)
Nowadays there is also a mostly undocumented sagemath_environment thing - some
packages need to be installed with it, but don't ask me how or why.
