it is already compiled, no need to do anything

2. if not then which tag should i use to invoke dft-d3 calculation

unfortunately the documentation of DFT-D3 is missing. Use vadiable
vdw_corr, specifying one of the following: 'grimme-d3', 'Grimme-D3',
'DFT-D3', 'dft-d3'

Also for dft-d2 , i have generated the parameters by running

generate_vdw_kernel_table.x produces a file used by vdW-DF and similar
non-local functionals. No relation with dft-d2.
