# Fixing EnvironmentError - No space left on device

This increases your container's TEMP storage; it does not add more disk space.

• PYTHON server

1. On the PYTHON server, create a directory at home/container/TEMP.
2. If the issue happens while installing requirements.txt, run:

pip3 install --cache-dir="$HOME/TEMP/" -r requirements.txt

3. If the issue happens while running code, export the TEMP directory:

export TMPDIR=$HOME/TEMP

• Note: the TMPDIR export is wiped on reboot.

1. Create run.sh with:

export TMPDIR=$HOME/TEMP
# replace this comment (this line) with your current Startup Command

2. Set the Startup Command (Startup category) to bash run.sh.

Tip: Splitting up your requirements.txt can help if PIP installs are failing with this error.
Tip: Ensure run.sh is located where it can reach any file referenced by the Startup Command in this script.
