|
|
|
used, the home directory defaults to @file{~/.gnupg}. It is only
|
|
|
|
|

|

directory stated through the environment variable @env{GNUPGHOME} or

On Windows systems it is possible to install GnuPG as a portable
|
|
|
|
|
application. In this case only this command line option is
|
|
|
|
|
considered, all other ways to set a home directory are ignored.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To install GnuPG as a portable application under Windows, create an
|
|
|
|
|
empty file name @file{gpgconf.ctl} in the same directory as the tool
|
|
|
|
|
@file{gpgconf.exe}. The root of the installation is than that
|
|
|
|
|
directory; or, if @file{gpgconf.exe} has been installed directly below
|
|
|
|
|
a directory named @file{bin}, its parent directory. You also need to
|
|
|
|
|
make sure that the following directories exist and are writable:
|
|
|
|
|
@file{ROOT/home} for the GnuPG home and @file{ROOT/var/cache/gnupg}
|
|
|
|
|
for internal cache files.
