====== Make an account specific tmp directory ======
**✅ CONTENT MIGRATED TO GURU ON FEBRUARY 22, 2024**

When the objects you are working with in your model are very large and your server has been setup with a /tmp location that isn't large enough you may see "Write" errors or other strange errors referencing the directory "/tmp".  They are a result of running out of disk space on /tmp.

This can be fixed by setting up tool to use the home directory of the account as it's temp directory:
  * Make a directory for the temp files to go.  Using windows explorer go to the account directory through your drive mapping and make a new folder in the root of the model account for example:
<code> M:\EEAR\tmp </code>
  * Edit the account's tools.init file through the drive mapping and set the $tmpDir to the location you just made.  This line should be added to your tools.init file:
<code> $tmpDir = "/models/modelAccountName/tmp" </code>
