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 the profile folder in this .zip rather than the usual ~/.config/thorium folder.

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=./chrome and Exec./content_shell I have it set on my machine to Exec=/home/alex/bin/thorium/chrome and Exec=/home/alex/bin/thorium/content_shell. Full paths are needed (no ~/ or $HOME) 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.

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