From Gramps
In macOS section: Give the directory before OS-usage info, as with POSIX. Document an easier method of seeing hidden files.
$HOME/.gramps

The [[Mac OS X:Application package]] uses a different, more macOS-standard default location for the directory:
/Users/''<username>''/Library/Application Support/gramps
=== Accessing hidden directories in macOS ===
macOS filenames, including directories, starting with "." (period) do not show up in Finder. Access the Gramps user directory in any of these ways:
* In Finder, navigate to the directory which contains the hidden file or directory you want to see and type command-shift-. (period). All of the hidden files and directories in that directory will be shown.
* Click on [https://osxdaily.com/2011/08/31/go-to-folder-useful-mac-os-x-keyboard-shortcut/ {{man menu|Go -> 'Go to Folder...'}}] in the Finder, and type
~/.gramps
: in the resulting macOS {{man label|Go to the Folder}} dialog box.
* Open a terminal window using the Terminal application and type
ln -s ~/.gramps ~/Documents/Gramps
which will make Finder show the directory as a folder in your Documents folder named "Gramps". (You can replace "Gramps" with whatever name you wish, but use a \ before any spaces.)
