My Portable Emacs Setup

One_Two8847 · 2022-03-31 13:52
Thought I would share what I have learned about running Emacs as a portable application for anyone who has yet to do this. I have come to like Emacs so much, that I want to take it with me everywhere I go. However, my work uses Windows and won't allow me to install any software so I can run my favorite program from a flash drive with this method: [https://tfree87.github.io/.emacs.d/emacs-portable.html](https://tfree87.github.io/.emacs.d/emacs-portable.html) Anyone else have a neat portable Emacs setup? I can always use new ideas.

Thank you dude. I'll take a look. Always wanted to have working config of emacs on windows. Till then I am using work notebook with linux.

Meh, still prefer to use emacs inside a Linux vm when have to do windows stuff.

Cygwin is portable. Then the cli tools it provides are also portable (hunspell/aspell, git, grep, find, ctags, curl, vim, ...)

I use emacs on my mobile phone via termux, XSDL and exwm. I have a tiny Bluetooth keyboard and a little folding stand for my phone
