Which path should I use to install groundhog? #94

When I ran "library("groundhog")", I got the following message: | The path '/Users/username/R_groundhog/groundhog_library/ seems to be a | on a different drive (or 'volume') than the default R library | '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.2/Resources/library'. | Groundhog will be slower and more likely to produce occasional errors | if paths for libraries are on different drives. It is strongly | recommended to use the same physical drive for both paths instead. If | you want to set it to '/Users/kewang/R_groundhog/groundhog_library/' | anyway, type 'anyway', else type 'cancel'

Which path should I use to install groundhog? Should I type 'anyway' or choose /Library, or /Library/Frameworks, or /Library/Frameworks/R.framework or move the default R library? Thank you in advance for your help!

short answer: type 'anyway'

longer answer: The check for multiple drives, added in v3.0.0, produces more false-positive than expected, this is almost surely a false positive so I would suggest going with "anyway". I am finalizing an update fixing bugs identified in this major re-rewrite, and this check will be replaced with a much more accurate one.

Thank you so much, Uri!
