If you enter the wrong values, you could mess up your system. While there are command line options for creating the new APFS volume, there is some risk with trying to create a copy/paste version of those commands: the setup depends on the original configuration of disk(s) present on the machine, and existing APFS volume(s) present. Unfortunately, this process doesn’t really lend itself to a cheat sheet.
Move the newly-created folder ~/Library/Application Support/Steam to the new APFS volume from step 3.Install the Steam application and run it (it will update once, then fail to run anymore).Create a new APFS volume that is not case-sensitive.Remove the Steam folder from ~/Library/Application Support/.Remove the Steam application package from /Applications.Note: Steps 1 and 2 might be optional, but I started “clean” to make sure that everything would work. If not, keep reading below for more details.

That was pre-High Sierra, and all that was needed back then was renaming some files from uppercase to lowercase due to an error message. One of my earlier posts described how to make the Steam client work on Mac OSX.
