There are a few posts in their feature requests forum asking for a portable version to run via flash drive, but so far I don't believe that request has ever been acknowledged, though some hacky workarounds exist.

a few people have set it up in Docker, so if you're that technical it might be doable

If you can't install applications locally, Logseq is a good alternative. It can operate entirely locally, with nothing installed, if your browser supports the localstorage API. Edge does, for example. (There are a small number of features that don't work in this mode.)

This sounds interesting - but I've never heard of it, what is it?

This is very cool! Thanks for sharing.

I think you replied to the wrong comment!

I absolutely did - apologies.

If you are using it for work, you have to have a paid license and I assume you would get your employer to pay for it. If you get that far, I can't imagine they wouldn't approve the installation.

> You need to pay for Obsidian if and only if you use it to contribute, directly or indirectly, to revenue-generating, work-related activities in a company that has two or more people. Get a commercial license for each user if that's the case.
