How to make smaller version of Koha?
I submitted a query to find a solution to reduce the size of Koha package. I didn't received a proper solution. I succeeded in find a solution at last. Here is the solution. Template files of various languages make Koha big size. Template files of intranet and OPAC resides in "koha-tmpl" folder. We can reduce the size of Koha package by deleting unwanted lanuage files. Follow the steps here, 1. Extract the koha package. 2. Enter into koha-3.00.05/koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog 3. Delete all folders except "en" and "img" 4. Enter into koha-3.00.05/koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/prog 5. Delete all folders except en, famfamfam, images, itemtypeimg. Here "en" is the language folder name for English. If your language is different, you can retain your language instead of English. It will reduce the koha package to 20 MB. Then you can start the installation using the small size koha. It take less time for Koha installation. Smaller size Koha is useful for save your time in training programmes and installation for others. -- Vimal Kumar V. Asst.

No "proper solution"? 3.2 alpha as released included a compact tarball, as will the beta and the general release. Henri hasn't weighed in yet about doing the same for 3.0.6, but as 3.0.6 has not been released yet, I would suggest that it would be a courtesy to give him a chance to respond.

Hi I was thinking to do the same as well. Since complete tar ball is really heavy. It could be lightened though if javascript libraries and images were not down in the language directory. (not for 3.0 though) I will do that. -- Henri-Damien LAURENT
