Drag it to the desired location in the Finder, launch iTunes with the Option key held down, and choose that library.

That's easy enough - thanks. In the older days, when the app was still called iTunes, before the introduction of confusion with the naming of a SERVICE Apple Music AND the renaming of iTunes to Music - a real coup of branding ambiguity, there was a menu item to indicate where this file was to be found..
Anyway - thanks.
