There are several posts that are discussing relevant aspects of Anaconda installation on macOS here and here, and elsewhere. My question is more of a principled kind: what would be an appropriate place for installation?
Previously, the place was in /Library/Frameworks/
. (BTW, this is where R
still lives in R.framework
.) More recently, this was moved to opt
and now opt
is moved to HOME
. So, really, what should be the right place for developer frameworks such as python
or R
?
I do like to have a system-wide installation but then maintenance becomes painful with all the security issues.
Thanks!
