Choose where to install bitcoin-qt (linux)

0

I don't have much space on my / (~12GB) so I would like to install bitcoin-qt to some other drive with free space (since the data files will take around 10GB after synchronization). How do I do that?

Run bitcoin with the flag

-datadir=<path to a directory>

2No it will redownload if it's not already there. So you may want to move whatever you have to that path first. (while bitcoin-qt is NOT running). – Jannes – 2013-12-04T17:04:37.383
