You don't have to, I don't know what model you have but all use self tensioning belt drive systems. This is a spring loaded pulley which holds the correct tension. if you have noise or slipping you either have miss routed the belt, part failure, old belt.

You'll probably want a manual for this, but you may be able to locate a bracket on or near the alternator that moves the alternator itself or a pulley that the belt runs on. This is a tensioner and turning the bolt one way or the other will tighten or loosen the belt. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN THE BELT! This will damage the components the belt runs on.
