I recommend using TiddlyServer (https://github.com/Arlen22/TiddlyServer). It works the same as NodeJS, but allows you to edit more than one wiki and lets you serve static files. It's very simple to use once you understand it, but I'm not sure if my explanations of the installation instructions are that simple yet :) Since I'm the one that made it, I have the entire thing stored it my head and can give you detailed answers with a little digging, but to give simple answers is where I struggle :)
First, you either need Node installed on each computer or copied onto the USB stick. If all your computers are Windows computers, then that's all you need. You can download Node from https://nodejs.org/en/download/ - If you want it installed on each computer, download the installer and do so. This is the easiest way to go if all the computers are your own. - If you want it on the USB stick, download the binary (which is a zip). Hang onto it for now, we'll use it soon. Download TiddlyServer-2.0.8-bundled.zip from https://github.com/Arlen22/TiddlyServer/releases/tag/2.0.8 Extract the folder it contains to wherever you want it. On Windows, you can just open the zip file and drag the folder inside it over to the USB drive. Download example-settings-simple.json from https://github.com/Arlen22/TiddlyServer/releases/tag/2.0.8 and place it in the folder. Rename it to settings.json Create a folder next to the folder you just extracted and call it data. This is the folder your settings.json file points to. If you are comfortable with editing JSON, you can easily change the folder path or add more folders. The readme contains a detailed explanation of the settings.json file at https://github.com/Arlen22/TiddlyServer/tree/2.0.8#settingsjson The two main reasons people like TiddlyServer over TiddlyWiki on NodeJS is that you can edit multiple TiddlyWiki data folders at once, and you can serve static files along side them. It is not possible to serve static files using TiddlyWiki on NodeJS. Hope that helps. If someone else wants to suggest something as well, feel free to.
