Removing Nginx and installing Nginx with Pagespeed module

Question

So I just installed a new Linode with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and I have Nginx 1.10.0 installed

nginx -v
nginx version: nginx/1.10.0 (Ubuntu)

I followed the instruction by google to install a new version of Nginx and add Pagespeed module described here: https://modpagespeed.com/doc/build_ngx_pagespeed_from_source

When I do nginx -v the previous version is still installed and I have a new folder with nginx nginx-1.11.8 ! How do I remove the previous version and install pagespeed ? very confused.

Update

I tried to install a dynamic module and I get this when I recompile:

  sudo make install
    make -f objs/Makefile install

cp objs/ngx_pagespeed.so '/usr/local/nginx/modules/ngx_pagespeed.so'
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/henri/nginx-1.10.0'

However I do not see the module!
nginx -V output:

For building a binary compatible version of ngx_pagespeed.so (dynamic module) you may have to add --with-cc-opt="-DNGX_HTTP_HEADERS"' to nginx's configure line. The output of nginx -V will not hint at that, but the official stable ppa seems to requires it (I checked 1.12.1).

For more context, see https://github.com/pagespeed/ngx_pagespeed/issues/1440#issuecomment-315520779
