When you download and/or extract the node package (I'm pretty sure it's unzippable), there is a file (node.exe, I think) that does the heavy lifting. You can copy it into the same directory as your tiddly server files so that you don't need to install node.js on some other PC you might visit. So that makes it more portable.
However, PC executables won't run on Android. For Android, you need another approach. Typically you would install termux on android, and then from within android install node.js. Then I think you can install and run tiddlyserver files. You might need to understand unix pathing. I use this approach on Android 5. But it works with the older version of Tiddlyserver. The newer version of ts needs the newer version of node.js, and I'm not sure if that happens under Termux. I guess you'll find out ;-) On Monday, August 31, 2020 at 2:26:01 PM UTC-7, Rob Jopling wrote: > > I now have a portable version of Tiddlyserver working on my Win10 > pc, although it is not truly portable. > > Arlen's instructions say: "You can also copy the Node executable into the > folder for a truly portable install." > > I am not sure what is meant by "the Node executable".
