First, download the gcc sources: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/gcc-7.1.0/
Then follow the instructions from here to build and install: https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/InstallingGCC
Assuming you want to install to /home/folder, you would do:
tar xzf gcc-7.1.tar.gz
cd gcc-7.1
./contrib/download_prerequisites
cd ..
mkdir objdir
cd objdir
$PWD/../gcc-7.1/configure --prefix=/home/folder --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran,go
make
make install
