PGAP for multiple users #307

Closed vappiah closed 2 months ago

vappiah commented 2 months ago

Hi Developers, I realized when using PGAP, all the necessary files are created in my $HOME/.pgap . Is it possible to create this in a directory where multiple users have access? . This will avoid duplicate downloads.

Please advice.

Thank you for your report, user @vappiah !

Indeed, we do provide a mechanism for this.

$HOME/.pgap is a default location for PGAP reference data storage, but it can be modified as it is specified in Quick Notes:

By default it will install in $HOME/.pgap, but this location can be changed by setting environmental variable PGAP_INPUT_DIR.

You can organize a location shared by more than user, adjust permissions to it and point the aforementioned envar to this location before installing pgap.py
