You might have a look at Quantarctica, as they seem to have done just what you are proposing.</div>

This is a well proven system, with several versions created over the years. The key is to configure a well set up project file that is very robust & portable.</div>

Hello,<br>
<br>
I'm working on a project to bundle QGIS with data to create an easy-to-ship and use viewer (aka atlas). However, I'm struggling with the portability of it, and I'm hoping someone can help me get QGIS running as it moves from computer to computer. The process
and progress sections at the link below explain where I am right now with the .bat file I'm trying to use.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://github.com/johnzastrow/mqs/blob/main/docs/qgis_viewer/REQUIREMENTS.MD" originalsrc="https://github.com/johnzastrow/mqs/blob/main/docs/qgis_viewer/REQUIREMENTS.MD">https://github.com/johnzastrow/mqs/blob/main/docs/qgis_viewer/REQUIREMENTS.MD</a><br>
<br>
It seems my script is not doing the right things to reset environment variables as the atlas moves to a new computer. Trying to unravel the cascading .bat files from the installer has led me to a blind alley.<br>
<br>
Thank you<br>
