Default Install Pro Tools Correctly On New Mac Mini

I recently set up my new Mac Mini (M1 model) and I'm looking to perform a fresh install of Pro Tools and all of the plug-ins that come with it.

My plan:
The Mac OS, DAW software (including Pro Tools), plug-ins, and VSTs will belong on the system drive. I have two external drives that will handle everything else...
EXT Drives:
1. "Recording" - Only DAW project files, recorded audio, etc.
2. "Libraries" - Only sound libraries

Under these conditions, what is the best way for me to install Pro Tools? Where should I locate Pro Tools sound libraries too? What is an ideal folder system to follow?

I'm curious about these things because I've noticed how Avid tends to point many of their installations to system drive locations. Of course, the Pro Tools application itself and its plug-ins should remain on the system drive, but I'd like for sound libraries (like XPand, etc.) and other files to be on the external drive for sound libraries. I want to save as much internal storage space as possible lol...
