I don't know about stopping and resuming, but I presume that you want
to run on unix based computers. Assuming that you have all the
development packages (lisp, automake, gcc --or equivalents) available
on your host computer, you don't need superuser access. You can
download the *tar.gz file, and configure it with
./configure --prefix=$HOME
This will place everything in $HOME instead of /usr/local.
So, you will get maxima, xmaxima, rmaxima in $HOME/bin, the share
files in $HOME/share, etc.
