|
With the release of the 5.x version of Mattermost quite a few things have changed and the application does not work fully as a PortableApp anymore. |
Since this is not an official PortableApp the PortableApps installer must be download first. Navigate to https://github.com/uroesch/MattermostPortable/releases for a selection of releases.
After downloading the .paf.exe
installer navigate to your PortableApps.com
platform Apps
Menu ❶ and select Install a new app (paf.exe)
❷.
From the dialog choose the previously downloaded .paf.exe
file. ❸
After a short while the installation dialog will appear.
The Packages found under the release page are not digitally signed so there the installation is a bit involved.
After downloading the .paf.exe
installer trying to install may result in a
windows defender warning.
To unblock the installer and install the application follow the annotated screenshot below.
-
Right click on the executable file.
