- 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.
