We have a mac with lowest available memory (125 GB). Would like to install/run Android Studio and projects on an external SSD. If possible, Please share steps/guide to do the same.

I am using VSCode on my mini-mac on an external drive. I installed VSCode first, then moved it to the external drive by dragging/dropping it without an issue.

The only problem I ran into is Flutter would not run properly on external drive. I had to install flutter on the actual mac.

A quick google for android external drive install: https://ishouldgotosleep.com/daily-learn/install-android-studio-external-ssd-flutter/
