What is green software?
Green software refers to software that can be used directly without installation. It will not leave any traces in the system like installing software, nor will it leave any records in the registry, nor will it leave any files on the hard disk .
Why you need green software?
The advantage of green software is that it can be used on any computer anytime, anywhere. There is no need to install it on different devices, and there is no need to worry about uninstalling it cleanly. At the same time, you don’t have to worry about being infected with viruses or malware when using green software, because it will not affect the stability and security of the system.
How to check if software is green?
Generally speaking, green software can be judged by the following aspects:
- File size: Green software is generally small and does not need to rely on files such as system libraries. The file size generally does not exceed 100MB.
- Whether installation is required after decompression: Green software is generally a compressed file, which can be used directly after decompression without installation.
- View the program directory: The directory structure of green software is usually relatively simple, with only the program itself and no other folders and files.
- Whether configuration files are generated when running the program: Green software generally does not generate configuration files when running, so it will not appear in the system’s registry when running the program.
How to make green software yourself?
If you need to make green software yourself, you can use some tools to achieve it. for example:
- 7-zip: Files can be packaged into compressed files for easy transmission.
- Enigma Virtual Box: You can package the program itself and its dependent files together to form a single executable file, and you can also customize the program’s information and icons.
- Bakefile: You can package the program and dependent libraries together to form a single executable file, and you can also customize the program’s information and icons.
