The yankring plugin for Vim creates a file in my home directory called yankring_history_v2.txt. How do I tell the plugin to store this file in another location?

You can change those default paths in src/os_unix.h. While at it, you might want to consider changing the location of the vimrc file and also the second vimrc file which is typically under ~/.vim, so you might want to update that one.
Easiest way on vim. Nice! I mapped that expression as "nmap bo :browse oldfiles<CR>" (without the quotations) in my ~/.vimrc. Simply typing that mapping (bo) in Normal mode executes that command There is mru.vim, which adds the :MRU command.
Yes, it is store under the .vim/ folder, which is created by MacOSX after I updated to Big Sur. What I want is simply this when I put this line in ~/.vimrc it works, while in ~/.vim/.vimrc it's not. So my questions are: What's the first file Vim read so it knows Oh, so Mr. .vimrc your home is at $HOME (or ~)?
Vim 8 is all in /usr/local. Then I created a new directory in $HOME called ".vim8". I have all my Vim 7 stuff in $HOME/.vim/, and I want a clean directory for Vim 8 in $HOME/.vim8/.
You can also change the file's name with yankring_history_file. For example, if you want it to be a hidden file in your home directory, leave yankring_history_dir as-is, and add this to your .vimrc:
let g:yankring_history_file = '.yankring_history'
