All of the answers to this question Is there a command to install a dmg work for me in installing a DMG file from the command line.
But I don't want to have users need to enter the sudo
password, it is inconvenient.
How can I extract a DMG file to a executable directory without sudo
? Or is there no way to do that?

DMG is a disk image, not an installer. You can't see from the outside how a piece of software is installed just by it being distributed as a DMG.
That said, if the DMG contains an .app, your user might be able to "install" (copy) it to their
~/Applications/
folder. The software will be only available to this specific user.
