Help: How do I / can I run Accordance on an External SSD and a MacMini 2018?

I'm attempting to save space on my internal SSD on my 2018 Mac mini... relocating Accordance and all the modules to an external SSD seems like a workable solution... has anyone out there had success and/or attempted this... any tips/suggestions certainly appreciated. Thank you all in advance.

I know this can be done with Accordance for Windows, but I'm not certain it can be done on a Mac. If someone knows differently, please correct me.

Thank you. Hopefully, some grace filled Accordance saint will be up for the challenge or has already slain this particular dragon... thanks to all!

On a Windows computer you will need to install the program itself on the main hard drive. You can store the support files (which are the largest part of Accordance) on an external drive:

On a Mac, it is not as easy, but can be done by creating a Symlink:

This is not something that we officially support, but these instructions should get you started on this.

Hi Billy,

 

Is there any way to move the modules (more than a GB) to an external drive, and set up accordance to find these modules? Thanks.

Thanks Steven, 

 

I thought that the support files location only apply to the actual support module.

 

Thank you for the information!

 

Shalom

The Accordance folder (which contains all of the modules and is by far the largest part of Accordance) can be moved easily to an external drive in the Windows version. The app itself and the preferences folder (which are much smaller) need to remain on the internal C drive.

 

The modules can get up to several GBs and can all be moved to an external drive by following the instructions found here:

Thanks a lot for the clarification. It is great service that the largest files can be moved.

 

Shalom.
