Hi,

Need to carry Joplin in portable drive which doesn't need any installation.  
In many places, installation goes through a big process and it would be hard to get approval for installation as it would affect the system performance. However portable softwares are allowed.

Thanks

Works great IMO, but take care to use flash memory that's fast enough (especially in writing mode)...
