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.

Thank you so much for you assistance.
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".....
Best regards from Berlin, Germany

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.
