How can I reduce the installation size (on-disk)?

Step-by-step guide

Some steps you can take to reduce the number of files/directories of your ecCodes installation:

  1. If you are only interested in GRIB functionality, then you can delete the BUFR-related tables/definitions from the install tree
    e.g. rm -rf /path/to/install/share/eccodes/definitions/bufr
  2. Likewise, if you are only interested in BUFR functionality, then you can delete the GRIB-related tables/definitions
    e.g. rm -rf /path/to/install/share/eccodes/definitions/grib[123]
  3. You can also delete some of the executables in the "bin" directory e.g., commands starting with the "bufr_" can be deleted if you are only interested in GRIB
