Creating a portable UniGetUI installation

This page shows the (simple) steps that should be followed to be able to get a portable UniGetUI installation.

  1. Get a copy of the UniGetUI binaries. You can get them by downloading the file UniGetUI.x64.zip from the latest GitHub Release
  2. Extract the compressed folder and find the UniGetUI.exe file. Double-click it to launch UniGetUI
  3. Now, you have a portable installation of UniGetUI 🙂. However, the settings will be stored on a user basis, and if the binaries are placed on a removable storage, the settings will not be kept back. In order to maintain settings, please follow the steps below on Storing settings with alongside the binaries
