Using R on MacOS Catalina.....
Patrick, thank you so much for your help /answer. But the ?official? R on this WebSite doesn?t allow to install the software on an other Volume (I wrote that in my first eMail). YES, 256 GB is a lot for a MAC, but if you have less than 50% free of your harddisk, the system goes slow, because it is a SSD ? HardDrive??? So it is better to install the software on an other HardDisk /Volume?.. and it is faster ? HomeBrew is nice, that?s right, but I don?t want to install that.

Why not use the official installer and adjust the installation path? https://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/ Also allows multiple versions being installed, all from the CLI (but I guess guess it's a normal desktop machine and you can just use the gui installer). 256GB is a normal size for a disk, don't see the problem. 90% of all macs probably don't have more. Homebrew R differs slightly from the official R installer and might cause problems in some cases.

My problem is not solved, because I must install R, etc. on a different Volume like SYS-Volume & I can?t find this option under "homebrew".....

For me it usually had to resort to the latter when there were connectivity issues (more common in Namibia than in Potsdam :-)-O). And maybe once or twice when I wanted to try something special. It also has a 'cask' option with which it installs apps so I do brew install r brew cask install rstudio All in all rock solid. el

Homebrew is Linux-style packaging for OS X. Think of it as an equivalent to apt-get?either it will retrieve a binary or it will attempt to build one.
