Set Toolbox to install apps in /Applications, not in ~/Applications (macOS)

Answered

By default, Toolbox (at least under macOS) seems to install the IDE apps in ~/Applications/JetBrains Toolsbox. But on my single-user machine, I do _not_ want my home folder bloated with apps.

How can Toolbox be configured so that the IDE apps are installed in /Applications or in /Applications/JetBrains Toolbox ?

Unless I am mistaken, the setting "Tools install location", which by default is ~/Library/Application Support/JetBrains/Toolbox seems to be for an entirely different purpose.

Hi! Applications are currently installed in /Users/<USER ACCOUNT NAME>/Library/Application Support/JetBrains/Toolbox/apps

If necessary, this location can be changed (Main menu → Settings → block Tools → block Tools install location).
We are thinking about simplifying the installation in this ticket. https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/TBX-3176/Simplify-where-apps-are-installed
