Install groonga-apt-source package:

$ sudo apt install -y -V ca-certificates lsb-release wget

$ wget --quiet -O - https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc | sudo apt-key add -

Install postgresql-*-pgdg-pgroonga package:

$ sudo apt update

Or
$ sudo apt install -y -V postgresql-14-pgdg-pgroonga

$ sudo apt install -y -V postgresql-13-pgdg-pgroonga
