Portable GRO stores the database and the user settings in the installation directory, and not in the user home directory. This facilitates migration between computers, even if only home and work computers are involved - since there is no need in additional GRO installations on PCs, and no need to restore the data every time location is changed.
How to install portable GRO from GRO Home Page
1. Download Windows installer from GRO home page (may be done on any computer, with the only requirement that Java is available), and start the installation.
2. Change installation path to, for example, F:\GRO (assuming F: is your USB drive)
3. Unselect option 'Create Shortcuts in the Start Menu', and proceed.
How to install portable GRO from your local GRO installation (version 1.6.4 or higher required)
Copy your GRO installation directory (done using Windows installer) to, for example, F:\GRO (assuming F is USB drive).
How to run portable GRO
Submit run.bat (for Windows) or run.sh (for Unix and Lunux) located in the GRO directory on USB drive.
Note: you need to make GRO directory your current working directory before running.
What if a PC will not have Java installed?
To be prepared to the possible situation that target PC will not have Java, do the following (instructions are suitable for Windows):
1. Find out your JRE (Java Runtime Environment) directory: open Control Panel --> Java, go to Java tab, press View, and look-up the Path column.
2. Copy JRE directory to F: (assuming F: is USB drive)
3. Rename JRE directory on F: to jre.
Now your portable GRO will even run on a PC with no Java!
ohh, thank you very much for the recommendations to install a portable software because sometimes I had trouble installing it on my own.

Is there a sanctioned procedure for installing on Linux without using the java webstart crap? I want to run this on a system that doesn't connect to the Internet; is there a tarball somewhere one can download, extract, and run from an arbitrary directory?

@Seth
There is currently no Installer for Linux, however you can use any Windows host to install on USB drive (see instructions in the article), then run on Linux using run.sh

Your instructions for install on Linux are crap. Just wrap it all up into a jar then it can run on anything. Java is cross-platform, you should NOT need windoze to use it any way, shape, or form. Get a clue!

It would be possible to combine to one jar file GRO and Apache licenced libraries GRO uses, but not LGPL licenced libraries that are also in use (such as SwingX).
LGPL licence requires that another library already present on customer computer with the same name should be usable.
