From reading the documentation on r, I couldn't figure out if that could
run locally or required an internet server to use. I like to be able to
run stuff locally since we have unreliable internet in my area of America
and actually most of America has to live with unreliable internet since
lots of it is rural and in underserved areas.

There's also stdev by Tom Christiansen:

psql can:

See "stddev_samp" and "stddev_pop" .

PHP for command-line work? That sounds wrong (not that PHP is a
good language even for writing server-side web code). Perhaps use
Perl, Python, Ruby, Lua, Awk, etc. or Something like R. I should
note that I'm maintaining this Perl 5/CPAN module for some basic
statistical calculations:
https://metacpan.org/release/Statistics-Descriptive
There are plenty of others like that for Perl and similar languages
and learning a language like that is useful for many other
use-cases.

There is no IGLU Cabal! Home?made Cabals eventually superseded the
power and influence of the original IGLU Cabal, which was
considered a cutting edge development at its time.
