Databundle Default Directory

[Tariq Khan]

Hi, I'm just getting started with zipline. How do I change the default directory for the data bundles?

I want to set it to a mounted drive somewhere besides the default at ~/.zipline/data as mentioned in the documentation here (http://www.zipline.io/bundles) where I will have tons more space.

I guess I need to set the $ZIPLINE_HOME variable. Where do I do that?

Thanks,

Tariq

Assuming you're on Linux, you can add the following line to the file ~/.bashrc:

export ZIPLINE_HOME=/your/new/directory
