Disk space calculations and usage for plugin output

It would be ideal if I could set the directory where QIIME was doing its internal computations in a place seperate to the system wide temporary directory. The reason is that the system temp directory is used for other things. Is that possible at all?

Yes. You can simply set these two variables you mention above.

export TMPDIR=’/whatever/’

You may also find this thread useful: DADA2 set TMPDIR permanently

Happy New Year!
