          See, “https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel/OS_X”, referenced in an 
earlier email from Alex in this thread:  This describes “New Method” and “Old Method”.  “Old 
Method” says, "Up to and including the 3.3.x series, the way to separate configurations on the Mac 
simply involved renaming your existing installation user configuration folder to the same name as 
the name of the LibreOffice application.”  That doesn’t mean it ever worked, but that seems to be 
what is described under “Old Method” ;-)  


          I’m still having other problems parsing the “New Method”:  A first step says to “cd”, 
then run “mkdir -p libreoffice/builds"
 in a terminal.  


          Is this correct?  When I “cd” then “ls”, I get the following:  


Applications    Documents       Library         Music           Public
Desktop         Downloads       Movies          Pictures


          I don’t see “libreoffice”.  Or is “libreoffice” in “mkdir -p libreoffice/builds” simply a 
shorthand for the local LibeOffice installation directory?  If that’s true, then how do I find the 
local LibreOffice installation directory?  


          Thanks so much for all your help.  Sorry for being so dense.  


          Best Wishes, 
          Spencer
