RimStone installs as source only and it's built on the spot. RimStone does NOT need sudo - it installs in .rimstone folder in your home directory. Here's what you need to do to install RimStone:
wget "https://github.com/rimstone/rimstone/archive/refs/heads/main.tar.gz" -O main.tar.gz
tar xvfz main.tar.gz
cd rimstone-main
./riminst.sh
. $HOME/.bashrcRimStone uses toolkit libraries for some functionality (such as MariaDB/PostgreSQL/SQLite client, libxml2, CURL, OpenSSL), and to install those you'll need sudo of course (the RimStone installer can install those for you or you can do it yourself).
You can also install from the github repo, or from a package (such as for apt, dnf, zypper or pacman) - see all installation methods. All the files (including the above main.tar.gz as well as the packages) are in RimStone releases.
