Where are the downloaded libraries like BOSL to be placed?

The answers that I find immediately are:
- Wherever the OPENSCADPATH environment variable says
o Entirely under the user's control
- Wherever File/Show Library Folder says
o On my system, ...\Documents\OpenSCAD\libraries
- The library directory under the install location
o typically Program Files\OpenSCAD\libraries
All of those seem to work.
Which one should you use? Depends on how you want to manage your files.
- I would not put things into the install location, because I often
have more than one version of OpenSCAD installed.
- Putting it in the install location makes it available to all users
of the system.
- Do you really want it in your documents directory? I use
OPENSCADPATH to keep mine in a OneDrive directory so that it's
shared across my systems. (And I don't have my Documents directory
in OneDrive.)
- File/Show Library Folder is easy.
