Setting scratch as temporary directory from R

279 views Asked by At

I would like to set my temporary directory using the scratch space of the cluster. I have tried various methods and this one: How to change directory for temporary files - problems with huge temporary raster files but nothing works.

I have to read a large file (12 GB) in R and run some code using it. I would like to read the file in this way:

library(data.table)
mydata<-fread("path/file")

But first I believe it is necessary to set the temporary directory as scratch/ otherwise the job has been killed. Feel free to suggest any other approach.
