This is a portable build of Thorium which can also be used to install/use Thorium on Linux distros that do not use .deb packages. The thorium-browser script and thorium-shell script will need to be made executable with sudo chmod +x, and when run will disable logging, default browser check, and set the user data dir to .config/thorium in this folder rather than the usual $HOME/.config/thorium folder.

The .desktop files are the equivalents, however one needs to make a symlink to them in either ~/.local/share/applications or /usr/share/applications.

One can also directly copy them to one of these locations, and manually edit all the Exec= lines within them to point to wherever you unpacked this Thorium archive; I.E. instead of Exec=./thorium and Exec./thorium_shell I have it set on my machine to Exec=/home/alex/bin/thorium/thorium and Exec=/home/alex/bin/thorium/thorium_shell. Full paths are needed (no ~/ or $HOME)

The same can be done for the Icon lines, so that they point to the correct locations and show an actual icon.

Thanks for using Thorium and feel free to use the issues or discussions for problems, questions, features, or suggestions.
