01 / GET IT ON YOUR MACHINEPYTHON 3.11+ · NO DEPENDENCIES

Download
Rosetta.

The tool is pure Python with no third-party dependencies. It installs into your home directory, never asks for sudo, and never edits your shell profile.

LOADING RELEASE DETAILS

If this does not resolve, JavaScript is disabled or the release manifest is unavailable. The source-checkout instructions further down need neither.

02 / TRUST, BUT VERIFYRECOMMENDED

Read it
before you run it.

Piping a script from the internet into a shell is trust on first use. The checksum protects the payload, not the installer. So here is the two-step form, presented as an equal option rather than a footnote.

01 / FETCH THE INSTALLERcurl -fsSLO /install.sh

02 / READ IT, THEN RUN ITless install.sh && sh install.sh

The installer verifies the release tarball against the SHA256SUMS published with it and refuses to install on a mismatch. It prints both digests when that happens.

03 / WHAT IT NEEDSAND WHAT IT DOES NOT

Three payloads,
three owners.

Conflating these is the main way installing Rosetta goes wrong. Only the first two come from us.

01 / THE TOOL

~900 KB

The CLI, the verifier and the MCP server. Pure Python, zero third-party dependencies, Python 3.11 or newer. This is what the installer fetches.

02 / THE DATA

5.5 MB

Real VistA MUMPS routines, the frozen benchmark split, task sets and the FileMan dictionary extract. Ships inside the same tarball, so a fresh install works with no second download.

03 / THE RUNTIME

Multi-GB

YottaDB inside a WorldVistA container, pulled from its publisher by scripts/bootstrap.sh. Never redistributed here. Install succeeds without it.

rosetta demo and rosetta doctor are built to run with no container and no network, so you can see the thesis before provisioning anything.

04 / FROM SOURCENO INSTALLER REQUIRED

Or clone it
and skip all this.

The installer is a convenience. A checkout plus the launcher script does the same thing with nothing downloaded from a release.

01 / CLONEgit clone https://github.com/travis-hodges/Rosetta.git

02 / INSTALL THE LAUNCHERbash scripts/install.sh --bin-dir ~/.local/bin

03 / CHECK THE MACHINErosetta doctor

The launcher resolves the checkout from its own location, so rosetta works from any directory. Keep the checkout where it is, or reinstall the launcher after moving it.

05 / LEAVINGONE COMMAND

Removing it
is one command.

Versions are unpacked under ~/.local/share/rosetta/ and the launcher is a single file. Nothing else is touched, so nothing else needs cleaning up.

01 / UNINSTALLsh install.sh --uninstall

A rosetta launcher the installer did not create is left alone rather than deleted. The container, if you provisioned one, is removed with docker rm -f rosetta-verify.
