What is the Windows "Portable ZIP" edition? How is it different from the installer?

The Portable ZIP edition (Windows x64) runs without an installer — just unzip it anywhere and run nosqlbooster4mongo.exe. It needs no administrator rights and makes no changes to the system registry, which makes it ideal for locked-down enterprise environments, running from a USB drive, or keeping multiple versions side by side.

Unlike the installer editions, the portable edition stores all of its data (connections, settings, window state, cache, etc.) in a .nosqlbooster-data folder next to the executable instead of %APPDATA%. Move that folder and your entire environment comes with it.

Because it has no installer infrastructure, the portable edition does not auto-update. It will still notify you when a new version is available and direct you to this download page to grab the latest ZIP manually.

What is a "Linux AppImage"? How do I install it?
