  4. Enter a location for where the files should be installed, if the default is not what you prefer. The default will usually be OK, in which case you can simply press enter. Installation has not been tested where paths contain spaces or special characters, so it is a good idea to install GSAS-II in an alternate location if the default has spaces or Unicode characters. Note that GSAS-II cannot be moved once installed. If you need it to move it please reinstall and delete the old copy.

+ 6. It is recommended that you type "no" for the question about initializing gsas2full using conda init as it is not needed to run GSAS-II. If you say "yes" or use the default, then the version of Python installed by GSAS-II becomes the default version, which usually will not cause problems either.

 There will be a brief delay while the installer script processes the files and creates a shortcut app for starting GSAS-II. Note that the warning message "Sorry, failed to find..." will occur with older installers.
