I use the environment variables BLENDER_USER_CONFIG and BLENDER_USER_SCRIPTS so that any Blender installation on my computer shares the startup setup and add-on installation. Does anyone know if there's a way to define an environment variable or something similar so that the "colormanagement" folder inside "datafiles" is shared by all Blender installations, and I don't have to install ACES in all of them?

| Environment Variables | |
|---|---|
| BLENDER_USER_RESOURCES: | Top level directory for user files. (other BLENDER_USER_* variables override when set). |
| BLENDER_USER_CONFIG: | Directory for user configuration files. |
| BLENDER_USER_SCRIPTS: | Directory for user scripts. |
| BLENDER_USER_DATAFILES: | Directory for user data files (icons, translations, ..). |
| BLENDER_SYSTEM_RESOURCES: | Top level directory for system files. (other BLENDER_SYSTEM_* variables override when set). |
| BLENDER_SYSTEM_SCRIPTS: | Directory for system wide scripts. |
| BLENDER_SYSTEM_DATAFILES: | Directory for system wide data files. |
| BLENDER_SYSTEM_PYTHON: | Directory for system Python libraries. |
| OCIO: | Path to override the OpenColorIO configuration file. |
| TEMP: | Store temporary files here (MS-Windows). |
| TMPDIR: | Store temporary files here (UNIX Systems). The path must reference an existing directory or it will be ignored. |

So you probably want to try OCIO, or just override all BLENDER_USER_RESOURCES. It seems colormanagement in user directory overrides the one in system directory at least in 4.1 so it should work if you just have everything in BLENDER_USER_RESOURCES(have not tested).
