When you say 'portable application' I guess you are referring to the 
browser UI engine. See Architecture diag in 
http://www.nkarthiks.info/acmeattic/index.php?title=Implementation
This needs an Apache installation and configuration on that machine 
where you intend to run it. It would be easier to install the client cli 
application wherever you go, in terms of user privileges on the system.
For further discussions on architecture we shall use the diagram on the 
wiki for naming components.
