I have a Mac where I do not have admin rights. I have requested and received temporary admin rights on the machine to install Docker. I just recently read that if we can install any software in a directory other than the System Applications directory without admin rights.
But when I start the Docker.app from that directory, I get a pop-up that requests admin id / password.
I can put that info in for next 2 days, as the admin is for very limited time.
I have two questions :
- Why am I being asked for admin info, if I am installing it at a location other than Systems Applications folder.
- This doesn't allow to update the Docker version without putting the admin info again. Since my admin is very temporary and I will not be able to get this access again and again, how should I install it initially so that I will be able to update to newer versions. Otherwise, I will be stuck at the today's version
I am new to Mac.
Appreciate any pointers / help
Thanks
