Local documentation installation drive

Posted 1 year ago

I am unable to install the local documentation to a drive other than the c: drive. The installer for the documentation does not expose the option to redirect the installation. I have successfully installed Mathmatica to the D: drive, but the documentation still shows up on the c: drive. It's 8GB so it puts a big dent in my c: drive and I need to move it.

Any suggestions?

Move the documentation folder,normally
"C:\Program Files\Wolfram Research\Mathematica\13.2\Documentation" into your
"D:\Program Files\Wolfram Research\Mathematica\13.2\Documentation"

Go to menu Edit/preferences last entry Avanced and open OptionInspector

There you find the node FileLocations with the search tree for Help. Klick on the little square on the right. A window pops up with the paths encoded as Mathematica commands with $systemvaraibles as values.. The given file locations are

$UserBaseDirectory
$BaseDirectory
$InstallationDirectory
Out[1]= C:\Users\mef\AppData\Roaming\Mathematica
Out[2]= C:\ProgramData\Mathematica
Out[3]= C:\Program Files\Wolfram Research\Mathematica\13.2

If the new directory is in one of these standard system paths it should work now.
