It can be made portable by creating a shortcut that specifies the location of the configuration file. The following info is from the website:
Anki is a program designed to help you remember facts (such as words and phrases in a foreign language) as easily, quickly and efficiently as possible. To do this, it tracks how well you remember each fact, and uses that information to optimally schedule review times. With a minimal amount of effort, you can greatly increase the amount of material you remember, making study more productive, and more fun.
Can I run Anki from a flashdrive?
Sure. Start Anki with a command-line argument pointing to a directory you want to use for configuration files. It doesn't have to exist.
To do this in windows, copy and paste the entire anki program directory to your flashdrive. Then, right click on "anki.exe" and create a shortcut. Right click on the shortcut to access its properties. Finally, change "target" field from " '\Anki\Anki.exe" to " '\Anki\Anki.exe -c \ankiconfig", apply your changes, and hit ok.
Now you're ready to go, just click on the shortcut that you created.
