Is it possible to install software from the Mac Appstore on a SD Card or an external HDD?

I'm using a Macbook Air. The internal SSD with only 128 GB is nearly full. I already moved my pictures and music to a SD-Card (Transcend JetDrive). No I'm wondering, if it is possible to install also software on the SD Card?

Thanks for your help, Stefan

  • Stefan,

    Installed software for mac is easily moved by going into applications folder and lifting the whole folder/application to the destination. More advanced methods include a dd in console command that actually coppies the bits to the device. I would try my hand at a Debian Raspberry pie install to get a hang of it.
