Thanks for the updates kepar and westfw! I have submitted an issue report to improve the portable mode documentation for macOS:

github.com/arduino/Arduino

Arduino IDE portable mode on macOS is undocumented

Component: Documentation

From https://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/PortableIDE: >This document explains how t…o make a portable installation of the Arduino Software (IDE) on Windows and Linux machines. The lack of mention of macOS/OS X in the above sentence gives the impression that portable mode may not be supported on that OS. The IDE installation folder structure is different on macOS, which makes the folder structure shown on that page not very instructive for macOS users. ---- Suggested changes to that page: EDIT 2018-04-05: I have struck out my previous suggestions because westfw has provided much more detailed instructions and screenshots at: http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=539551.msg3678998#msg3678998 To make the document easier to navigate it would probably be best to have a section specifically for Windows/Linux instructions and another for the macOS instructions. ~~Change:~~ >~~This document explains how to make a portable installation of the Arduino Software (IDE) on Windows and Linux machines~~ ~~To:~~ >~~This document explains how to make a portable installation of the Arduino Software (IDE).~~ ---- ~~Change:~~ >~~The tree structure should be as this one; the~~ ~~To:~~ >~~On Windows or Linux, the tree structure should be as shown above.

Any suggestions to improve that proposal are welcome.
