Walter,

An appimage absolutely does NOT run in the cloud.  It is a comletely
self-contained version of the program.  It has all of the required libraries
and such built in, so it can successfully run on (almost) any Linux
distribution.  That's why all you have to do is download it and make it
executable.  It does not "install" in the usual sense, because the distro's
package manager does not need to take care of any dependencies and such.  The
name of a particular Linux distro being part of the name of the appimage files
is just a side effect of how the Build Factory works.
Instructions on how to actually build (compile) your own version of KMyMoney
were removed from the handbook some time ago for many KDE applications.  I
would have to hunt for any specific version, but it's generic process of
getting the source, doing ./configure, and finally make.  Getting the source
depends on whether you want to compile a released version (download a tarball)
or a developer version (use git).  There are lots of options, and you also need
to be careful not to confuse your distros package manager.
For now, I think the appimage should be fine for  you.

Jack
