# DRAGEN installation failed due to lack of disk space in root volume

Sometimes the error below can occur during installation of DRAGEN software:

Installing edico-4.2.4-15.el7.x86\_64.rpm...

warning: edico-4.2.4-15.el7.x86\_64.rpm: Header V4 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID 96ca168c: NOKEY

Preparing... ################################# \[100%]

installing package edico-4.2.4-15.el7.x86\_64 needs 1975MB on the / filesystem

The error indicates the a disk space issue on the root volume. When it writes that it needs 1975MB on /, it doesn’t mean that’s the total size of the incoming RPM. It means it is 1975MB short after extraction.

A system that didn’t have trouble with the installer for the old version could have trouble with the new one.

If that is the case, user can try using the `--target` option:

sudo /staging/dragen-version.run --target /staging

That will tell it to extract its temporary data to /staging (rather than /tmp) and it might get user past the disk space issue. If that does not solve the issue, likely the only solution is to actually free space on the root volume.
