+## Path to user container storage
+
+By default, your enroot containers will be saved in your home directory. On Berzelius, you have 20 GB hard drive space for home. It is a better practice to put enroot containers in your proj directory.

+Add this line to your ```bashrc```
+
+```
+export ENROOT_DATA_PATH=/proj/nsc_testing/xuan/enroot/data
