### Installation on an external drive or USB key
47
-Currently the installer application installs the software tree in */opt/sbgrid* and uses a symlink at */programs*. The */programs* link is required for the software to work, but in principle the software can be anywhere by linking */opt/sbgrid* to the desired installation point. This functionality is not yet included in the BioGrids application, but can be set up manually post-install with a symlink. First do an install (into */opt/sbgrid*), then move it to the desired localtion. Then symlink to the new location from */opt/sbgrid*.

-**Example:** 128Gb USB 'key' drives are available on Amazon for 30$ or less and are a nice way to supplement the small SSDs that come in Mac laptops. To install on an external drive in this way, first mount it on your computer. For this example, the mount is */Volumes/sbgrid_client_install*. Then, using the BioGrids installer, do an initial installation on the hard drive. To make life easy, just do one application. Then close the installer application.
