Discussion
InstallAnywhere checks for the system environment variable IATEMPDIR and resolves its value as the temp directory path. Setting IATEMPDIR prior to launching the installer will redirect the installer's temporary directories to the specified location.
Examples: setenv IATEMPDIR=/home/my_user_name/tmp or export IATEMPDIR=/home/my_user_name/tmp
