How to change the bootstrap path in chef node

I have facing disk space issue whenever am running the 

knife bootstrap ....

command on my workstation. By using the knife bootstrap command am installing the "chef-client" from the specific local URL and installing into the destination node.

In the destination node actually my /home folder does not have sufficient space and also I can't expand this /home.

so can anyone guide me, how can I redirect the bootstrap default path to some other path(/etc, /tmp)in node.

There's a bunch of way to achieve it. I would go with a different destination as the install.sh script takes it as parameter. knife bootstraphas no option to set this extra arg but you can specify a fully new command.

Using the base one with a small addition this would give:

knife bootstrap --bootstrap-install-command "curl -L https://omnitruck.chef.io/install.sh | sudo bash -s -- -d /tmp" [ rest of usual bootstrap options]

Another option is to create your own bootstrap template, Documentation is here
