How do I move third party plug-ins onto an external hard drive?

I've already downloaded some third party plug-ins onto my MacBook and I was wondering if I can move them onto an external hard drive? I'm also wondering if or how you can download plug-ins directly to an external hard drive?

You can’t. The AU-Plugins need to be installed in the component folder(s) on your start HD.


But, it’s possible and sometimes recommended to move or install the libraries to/on external hard drives, though.
