Changing the default location for conda install

I'm trying to install conda on a server so I can run analyses remotely. It seems conda default installs in the home directory (~). Unfortunately the way my institute's server is set up means I have a very small personal storage space, but a large separate storage space. The personal storage space isn't big enough to install conda. Can I redirect the conda install? I can't see how from the conda install readme though

conda linux install

Follow the steps in link above. If you want to preserve packages you have already installed then you have to do all 4 steps. Otherwise uninstall and reinstall in a new directory followed by re-installation of packages.
