Download Anki Without Admin [TOP]

This would allow installing Anki without local admin privileges, which would first of all reduce the impact of a malicious install exe and secondly (and maybe more importantly) allow users to install Anki on machine, where they do not have local admin privilege (e.g. work computers). What do you think of this idea?
The installer code is in qt/bundle/win/anki.template.nsi, and can be tested with .\ninja bundle after following all the other steps in docs/development.md, and confirming you can run a source build locally.

I've recently been required to run anki (windows) as an admin to get it to launch. Otherwise it says "Failed to open script runanki" or something along those lines. Any ideas of a fix for this, happens on both my laptop and PC, both on windows 10.
My issue is a bit hard to explain, but essentially I don't avtually know how to update Krita, and someone told me to just run the launcher again. So I tried it, but it requires an admin password (Windows 10) to run it again. Being the "raised-by-your-dad" kid that I am, I want to figure out a way to not need the password.
Then launch synaptic (you may need to give your password if you close the terminal), search for anki, right-click the little box to the left and from the context menu select 'Mark for installation' then click on 'Apply' button:
So, I have access to both AnkiDroid and the web version of Anki, but I'm not able to install the desktop client due to admin privileges. I've created a CSV file that I would like to load into my decks, but I can't figure out how to do it...if I use AnkiPortable, I can load the deck just fine, but it won't connect to the server and sync with my account.
Some users have reported that Anki did not run for them until they right-clickedon the Anki icon and chose "Run as administrator". Anki stores all of its data inyour user folder, and should not need administrator privileges, but it's somethingyou can try if you've exhausted other options.
If the update process leaves you with multiple Anki installs (such as withinC:\Program Files\Anki and C:\Program Files (x86)\Anki), they may be left in anon-working state, and Anki may refuse to start without showing an error message.
I did the same that the friend here who expected to have this amazing app but portable. Where I'm going to study is forbidden to take laptops or using devices that are not provided by them, like mobile phones (is a military academy). So I only can use the computers they have there at their library, but not installing apps. I found this thread in reddit about making anki portable and I'm pasting it here, I'm going to test it right now. Hope it works:
Hello again. I finally made it! Using the previous tutorial I copied/pasted before plus these indications that you can find in the official ankiweb docs. I'm pasting it from there. Hope this helps others to using both of these amazing applications. If you substitute the word in the commands for the "AnkiPortable.exe" file to the "AnkiPortable.bat" file it works perfectly, but you have to manually edit those couple of files in order for it to work:
start /b g:\anki\anki.exe -b g:\ankidata
Double-clicking on anki.bat should start Anki with the user data stored in G:\ankidata.
The full path including drive letter is required - if you try using \anki\anki.exe instead you will find syncing stops working.
My solution solves the problem of running Anki 2.1 without installing, without elevated rights on Windows.This solution won't add it to the portable apps launcher or won't repackage it... it just runs it without having to actually install it in a very simple few steps:
Note: I think we are one step away from packaging it for portable apps launcher, but I don't know how to do it.Mind you this is a very barbaric way of running anki I don't know if you can properly uninstall it, but we'll cross that bridge when we get there... :)
Moral of the story, it doesn't matter if you trick the app thinking it has rights when it really doesn't. It needs those rights to perform administrative functions and without it, it will fail, just in a different way.
In case I terminate the execution of pdflatex with the PID of the run using less memory, the other keeps on running and locks the admin fndb from the path above, so I guess the remaining process is the admin run. If I kill the pdflatex process using more memory, both processes are terminated.

After a long gap I am finally getting back into studying Chinese. I had great success with flashcards before. I used to use Anki. Yes, I know SRS is greatly overhyped but it's good at what it does: rote memorization. Anki 1 used to have decent support for Chinese, but when they broke compatibility with Anki 2, that help went away. The last I saw of Anki 2, it was more of a DIY, program it yourself kind of software than a consumer level product. The developers simply expected you to learn to program the software if you wanted to use it effectively. I used to be a Unix system administrator but have left that part of my life behind - if I never edit another configuration file again in my life it'll be too soon.
If you want a more automated, integrated approach to using Anki with CHinese, look up the Migaku Anki add-ons. They're quite incredible really. The only reason I'm not using them is that I already have a mature workflow that without significant software engineering time could not be integrated with these add-ons. Otherwise they're incredible, and perfect for the kind of person who just wants things to work.
You may never have heard of this program, but if you have ever dealt with Apple devices, you've seen its effects. Bonjour is one of the programs that come bundled with nearly every piece of Apple software (most notably iTunes) that handles a lot of its automatic discovery techniques. Best described as a hybrid of IPX and DNS, Bonjour discovers broadcasting objects on the network by using mDNS (multicast DNS) with little to no configuration required. Many admins will deliberately disable this service in a corporate environment due to potential security issues, however, in a home environment it can be left up to the user to decide if the risk is worth the convenience.
This came with a lot of headaches, but to Microsoft's credit it did a lot of good things. Over the years it has improved a great deal and while there are still many options that go above and beyond what it does, what Windows Firewall accomplishes it does very well. Enhanced server-grade versions have been released as well and have a great deal of customization available to the admin.
At a very basic level, there really isn't one. As you progress up the chain however, you start to realize that there actually are a lot of differences in the power available to users (and admins) depending on how much you know about the different interfaces. Each of these utilities is a CLI- Command Line Interface- that allows for direct access to some of the most powerful utilities and settings in their respective operating systems. Command Prompt (cmd) is a Windows utility based very heavily on DOS commands, but has been updated over the years with different options such as long filename support. Bash (short for Bourne-Again Shell) on the other hand is the primary means of managing Unix/Linux operating systems and has a great deal more power than many of its GUI counterparts. Any Windows user that is used to cmd will recognize some of the commands due to the fact that DOS was heavily inspired by Unix and thus many commands have versions that exist in Bash. That being said, they may not be the best ones to use; for example while list contents (dir) exists in Bash, the recommended method would be to use list (ls) as it allows for much easier-to-understand formatting. Powershell, a newer Windows Utility, can be considered a hybrid of these two systems- allowing for the legacy tools of the command prompt with some of the much more powerful scripting functions of Bash.
Also known as the program that can give your admin nightmares, telnet is a very small and versatile utility that allows for connections on nearly any port. Telnet would allow the admin to connect into remote devices and administer them via a command prompt. In many cases this has been replaced by SSH, as telnet transmits its data in cleartext (like ftp). Telnet can and does however get used in cases where the user is trying to see if a program is listening on a particular port, but they want to keep a low profile or if the connection type pre-dates standard network connectivity methods.
