[oXygen-user] parallel installation of different oxygen versions

[George Cristian Bina]

Hi Jacob,

The Mac installation is just an archive so you can extract that anywhere 
and rename the oxygen folder to oxygen14beta for example so that you 
know what version you are running.

Best Regards,
George
