Lite ROOT?

Hello all,

I have what I think is a very simple question.

Say I am interested in only a single ROOT set a of features. This could be IO, Fits etc. Is it possible to install just the features I want without having to install the entire ecosystem?

Best,

cmake -Dminimal=ON ...

Dear Fabio,

First of all: welcome to the ROOT Community!

Nothing to add to the previous two great answers.

Since you contacted also privately ROOT Core Developers about this matter, I’d like to elaborate a bit on the Minimal option for the benefit of the entire ROOT Community.

It is indeed the right option to build the minimal ROOT: we’ll document more in detail what components it provides on the website soon.

Best,

Danilo
