You can set this in script as: library("unixtools ") set.tempdir("/home/path_to_dir/temp_dir/")
-- Sanjeev -----Original Message----- From: R-help [mailto:r-help-boun...@r-project.org] On Behalf Of Kumar Mainali Sent: Friday, February 23, 2018 1:53 PM To: R Help <r-help@r-project.org> Subject: [R] change location of temporary files I would like to change where R stores the temporary files to my external hard drive in my iMac. This is important because the temporary files R creates are huge and I do not have enough available space in my internal HD. Again, this is for macOS. This change has to be temporary. Later I need to use the usual location for temp files in the internal HD.
