Issue/Introduction

When running the Operator Console installer, there is a warning about disk space.  The installer appears to be using a folder that does not have much room available - how can I change the destination folder?

For example, on Linux:

# ./oc-installer-23.4.0-linux_x64.bin -i console

Preparing to install

WARNING: /tmp does not have enough disk space! Attempting to use /root for install base and tmp dir.

 

WARNING! The amount of /root disk space required to perform this installation is greater than what is available. Please free up at least 2642112 kilobytes in /root and attempt this installation again.

 

Resolution

You can set an environment variable called IATEMPDIR at the Operating System level and point it to the folder you want to use instead.

For example, to use a folder called /my/folder you would set:

IATEMPDIR=/my/folder

Depending on your Linux version you may need to use the following instead:

export IATEMPDIR=/my/folder

On Windows, you can use the same environment variable as well via Control Panel / System / Advanced system settings / Environmental variables.
