Or use clickhouse-local/chdb and get something even faster that you can also scale if you need a server later.

Did clickhouse-local reduce its install size? I vaguely remember that it always included all symbols and other stuff and was over 500MB and not trivial to install. Definitely a hurdle for some people. Iirc they were working on addressing this las time I checked

It's a 497 MB file that compresses down to 83 MB with zstd. Is 83 MB so huge to transfer?

It's a single binary, there is nothing to install. If this isn't trivial to install I can't imagine installing anything else.

Single binray is great! Maybe I misremember, or maybe it was different when I checked last time (or I checked compiling yourself?).

497MB is big, though, and 100 MB is as well, but I agree for desktop use in research it is more than OK.
