Slightly expanding noci's solution.

Just be sure to set $TEMP + $TMPDIR globally somewhere, like /etc/environment or however your Distro manages global environment variables.

Remember, likely a reboot will be required for /etc/environment to be read by every running process.

based on comment from noci

export TEMP=/temp
export TMPDIR=/temp

Open in new window

write above statements in
~/.bashrc
or ~/.bash_profile file for making them permanent for required users.
>> Comment from David Facor
use /etc/environment file if required to set for all users. => require root or sudo access

Whether you use ~/.* files or environment files + how exactly you approach all this depends on...

1) Do you require these variables being set only for interactive shells.

2) Do you require these variables being set for all shells (including background/batch/CRON) initiated shells.

Really best to start by answering these 2x questions, choosing a solution matching your answer.
