> What dependencies does it install

For all of the built-in adapters to work, you'll need ffmpeg, pandoc, and poppler-utils. See the Scoop package [1] for a specific example of this.

YMMV, but in my opinion ripgrep-all is pretty conservative in its caching. The cache files are all isolated to a single directory (whose location respects OS convention) and their contents are limited to plaintext that required processing to extract.
