Install on a USB?

Can Panda3D be installed on a USB? I want to run it at uni, but I can’t install it on the uni computers

I believe you can copy the entire install directory to any root you like, including a USB, and it will run correctly out of that root. Give it a try and let us know how it works.

yeah you can run panda3d out of any dir you like. You just have to make the path to python or the system python path happy.

I’ve found something that seems to work; copy the executable, include and library files (except exe files) to where you have the source files for your program. Then change the path from (e.g.) C:\Panda3D-1.6.2\include to
…\Panda3D-1.6.2\include.

I was originally going to try installing, but I wasn’t sure what copying the exe files would do - I tend to be fairly paranoid about my uni files Hm… I’ll back them up and see what happens.
