macOS users home folder location

[Jeff8356]

On macOS the users $HOME folder is /Users/<username>, also known as ~/ in most of the *nix world.

The /home folder is part of the system and is not user writable. It is actually a symlink to /System/Volumes/Data/home which contains no data or folders. It will cause an error if you try to write to that location.

In your scripts you would need to change the macOS path to /Users/MY_USERNAME/Documents/CPAP_Data

Here is the output from the command line:

%)── echo $HOME                                                               
/Users/jeff

and from my home directory:

%)── pwd  
/Users/jeff

Oops. Yeah, I did all this on a Mac. Looks like I deleted /Users when I replaced my username with the placeholder text. I’ll fix it, thanks!
