Best practices to install a large amount of data

In the past, I’ve just had my app unpack a few zip files containing support files, empty sqlite databases etc out of my app bundle’s Resources folder and copied them to Application Support.

But on a new app I’ve got a large amount of data to put in Application Support, about 2 GB worth, and keeping an extra copy around in my app’s Resources folder seems like a waste.

Since I can’t delete it from my resources folder without killing the signature/notarization, what is the best approach to install this data without wasting the user’s disk space?
