How to not share apps between user accounts?

[Ajay Jose]

Hey everyone! How do I not share an app between user accounts? For example, if I want to download a game app, I want it only in my account and not in my dad's account. (I'm using an iMac desktop - Just in case this helps )

Are you installing it as an administrator user or as a normal user?

If you have administrator priviledge, create a new folder in your account called Applications, copy the app from /Applications to the new local folder and then delete it from /Applications. Also, depending on how the app installer works, you may just be able to double click on the .dmg and drag it to your local Applications folder instead of /Applications. There is nothing prevent an app from running from another folder.
