# Cmder Latest release is **[v1.1.2](https://github.com/bliker/cmder/releases/tag/v1.1.2)** Cmder is a **software package** created out of pure frustration over absence of usable console emulator on Windows. It is based on [ConEmu](https://code.google.com/p/conemu-maximus5/) with *major* config overhaul. Monokai color scheme, amazing [clink](https://code.google.com/p/clink/) and custom prompt layout. ![Cmder Screenshot](http://i.imgur.com/g1nNf0I.png) ## Why use it The main advantage of Cmder is portability. It is designed to be totally self-contained with no external dependencies. That makes it great for **USB Sticks** or **Dropbox**. So you can carry your console, aliases and binaries (like wget, curl and git) with you anywhere. ## Installation 1. Download the latest release 1. Extract 1.
