TMPDIR size:

TLDR:

So you got something like:

RuntimeError: You need at least 12 GiB of space in TMPDIR for this to work.
Please export TMPDIR to a folder with enough space available.

Problem is that your TMPDIR is smaller that it is required.

TMPDIR in most cases is /tmp you can check it's size with df -h /tmp.

Solutions:

So you have two options:

  1. Increase the size of /tmp.
  2. Use custom path for your TMPDIR.

1 Increase the size of /tmp. (Not recommended)

You need to unmount your /tmp and re-mount it with required size.

2 Use custom path for your TMPDIR. (Recommended)

Create folder in user(you) owned folder, for example external drive: /media/your-drive/gammatmp Where gammatmp is folder that you created for TMPDIR.

Then run export TMPDIR=/media/your-drive/gammatmp if you have spaces or something like this in path use ", e.g: export TMPDIR="/media/your drive/gammatmp".

To see if it worked run echo $TMPDIR you should get your path back (e.g: /media/your-drive/gammatmp or /media/your drive/gammatmp in this example).

Important: Run gamma-laucher in SAME terminal in which you did these manipulations.

export is temporary and works ONLY in terminal in which you used it.
