After doing it myself, I just realized that it is going to be way easier to
use NPM to create the portable install.
- Create a new folder and cd into the folder.
- Run "npm install tiddlyserver". Notice there is no -g option there.
- Create your bash or batch file with the command
- "node node_modules/tiddlyserver/index.js --config settings.json"
- You can also download the Node executable and put in in the directory.
If using bash, you need to add ./ (dot slash) to the beginning of the
command.
That's it! Easy! There are some more changes coming to the NPM dependencies
that TiddlyServer uses so this option makes it easy to update as well. Just
run "npm install tiddlyserver@latest" on any computer that has NPM
installed on it, and you're updated. TiddlyServer specifies the exact
TiddlyWiki version so updating TiddlyServer will update the TiddlyWiki
dependencies as well.
