How to create a portable npp?

Lasse Jeremiassen

How do I create a portable version of npp76 or is it already portable?
In portable npp I assume plugin, language and function list files are a part of the portable environment, is that correct?

Best regards from Lasse

welcome to the notepad++ community @Lasse-Jeremiassen

you can download the official portable version of notepad++ 7.6.2 from here: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/repository/7.x/7.6.2/npp.7.6.2.bin.zip
extract it to your desktop, usb drive or any place you want (except %ProgramFiles%)
and run notepad++.exe inside it.

In portable npp I assume plugin, language and function list files are a part of the portable environment, is that correct?

yes, it will all be inside this npp.7.6.2.bin folder.

note: you can rename this folder, and/or have more than one portable copy at the same time, to e.g. use one of it for testing and playing around with any settings, and one to work
