Sorry, I was not clear at all.
In my current setup (before Gemstone, that is, Pharo app), I have 2 things:
lots of folders and files that my app must access/write. Those files are
under a permission of user AppX.
Then my pharo image is started also with a AppX user.

Now when I installed GemStone, I realized I installed it using
"marianopeck" user. So first thing I should do is to re-install gemstone
again and use AppX. Right?

Second question is if GemStone could be installed and run with a normal
(none sudo access) user. Is that possible? (I mean, everything ,stating
gemstone, netldi, etc) If true, I guess I just need to previously create
/opt/gemstone and give access to it (so that to use the
installGemStone.sh). And then run installGemStone.sh with AppX user?

Finally, I was reading the sysadmin guide, and there is section "To Set
File Permissions for the Server" which recommends about having 2 types of
users: gsadmin and gsgroup. Then there is also "To Set Ownership and
Permissions for Session Processes". So...those sections fired up this
thread.

We run Gemstone as a normal user. Is that not an option?
