> Mac is the only Processing version w/ an actual install, which the OS recognizes as registered. Both Windows & Linux versions are presented in a standalone compressed file. We need to decide the place where Processing’s extracted folder goes into. My advise is to pick an unguarded non-system path, like “Documents”, to extract Processing into.
