+== Specifying a different home directory ==
+
+By default, PPSS creates a directory in the current working directory which will contain all (temporary) files. 
+This directory can be changed by exporting the PPSS_DIR variable with another directory like this:
+
+export PPSS_DIR=/some/other/dir
+
+Next, just run PPSS as usual.
