I am trying to install Anaconda on a remote server. When installing, anaconda will always try to create .conda directory under /home/username/, even though I already specific the install location using -u /path/to/desire/location. Due to the remote server safety policies, my home directory is /some/where/directory, instead of /home/username/. I have no permission accessing or doing something under the original /home/user.

So every try is ended with Unpacking payload ...

mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/home/username/.conda’: Disk quota exceeded

Is there anyway to specific the Anaconda base install location when installing?

First: I try install with the command ./Anaconda-install-script.sh. When Anaconda asking for install location, I enter /path/to/desire/location, but ended with the result shown above.

Second: I try to innstall with options ./Anaconda-install-script.sh -u /path/to/desire/location, ended with same result as First.

I guess -u only specific the install location, not the base location. There must be some way to tell Anaconda install script to create .conda directory under /path/to/desire/location, like setting alias or soft link, or just doing a export command.
