You are aware that "installing" Fossil simply means copying the
self-contained executable file into /usr/bin (or whatever other $PATH
directory you want to use), right?  There are no dependencies.  You do not
need to run configuration scripts or installers or update related packages
or libraries or deal with package managers.  Just copy *one file* into your
$PATH on each machine where it matters.
