Issue

I need a zip version of Liferay Developer Tools that does not require local admin rights.

Resolution

  • Liferay does not provide .zip files for Liferay Developer Tools. This is because such a method could be used to circumvent restrictions organizations often intentionally put in place.
  • Given the security risk with such a request the best suggestion is to contact your system administrator to install it locally for users who need it on their local machine.
