Visual Studio for Mac - Install location

Question

I am considering installing Visual Studio (VS) for Mac on my Macbook Pro. Since my internal hard drive is short on space, I was wondering if the installer allows the user to specify an installation path? I've heard the total installation size is approximately 4 GB and so I would prefer to install VS, and all dependencies, to my large USB flash drive.

Thanks!

Answer 1

To answer my question, even though the Visual Studio for Mac installer seems to provide the option to specify an installation path:

...after the installation, only ~170MB was written to the USB drive. The rest was written to the internal hard drive.

Fail.
