Installation directory structure for downloaded program
OS X 10.3.9
I downloaded RealPlayer into my
~/download
folder, clicked install and everything works just fine.
My question has to do with just my trying to understand where OS X keeps the files.
So, I opened terminal and said:
find / -name RealPlayer 2>/dev/null
To my utter confusion the file is:
~/download/RealPlayer.app/Contents/MacOS/RealPlayer
I said
cd ~/download and saw two relevant names:
RealPlayer.app
RealPlayer10GOLD-1.dmg.download
where RealPlayer.app is directory. I ran my tree command to see what is there
~/download$ tree RealPlayer.app
and that just overwhelmed me with HUGE directory tree that starts in RealPlayer.app directory, I place snapshot of the output below.
Now, question is - how come this 33MB worth of stuff lingers under my ~/download directory, which is designated download target in my browser and supposedly is kinda working temp directory, right?
a) why installation lives under ~/download and not somewhere in /usr/share or /usr/local ?
b) do other users on my system have access to it? if no - how should I have installed it so all users access it?
c) can I tidy up it a bit. like go to Frameworks and remove languages that I don't use?
