Post by beztao01 »

Have you run freeCAD on a USB? I have to give a course but you can not install anything on computer equipment, i think about using portableApps, do you gitme some advices?

you can run from an usb no problem, there are zipped versions available at the release page: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/releases/tag/0.20.2
however the config, addons, macros, etc are usually saved on the computer rather than on the usb, see Start_up_and_Configuration#Starting_FreeCAD_from_a_portable_USB_medium for how to make it save those on the usb.
