hwDesktop2025_Linux64 installation fails "Not enough TEMP space"

I am trying to get the installer (hwDesktop2025_Linux64.bin) to understand that there is plenty of disk space but it only ends up with "Not enough TEMP space" after the step where I specify web browser path.

RHEL 8.10

I have attempted to set TEMP folder by using IATEMPDIR='/home/myhomefolder' (32 TB free, which one thinks would be quite enough)

I have tried both sudo -i and then run the installer and su sh ./hwDesktop2025_linux64.bin but with same result.

"Preparing to install
WARNING: /tmp does not have enough disk space! Attempting to use /root for install base and tmp dir."

So, it is clearly not picking up that I want it to use '/home/myhomefolder'

Note: /tmp does indeed have enough disk space, approx 2G

What am I failing to understand, when it comes to telling the installer which TEMP folder to use?
