    The Problem is that TeXLive still defaults to doing a full install.

    A full install means installing ~4000 packages, including their source files (tens of thousands of tex files) and built documentation (thousands of PDF files) and hundreds of free fonts (otfs, ttfs, texs own format).

    This is huge (>7GB, not just the 5 GB claimed here).

    However, you don't need 99 % of this for any given document.

    Not installing the source files and documentation PDFs will alone reduce the size by roughly half.

    Only installing the packages you really need from a minimal installation gives you a few hundred megabytes at most for even complex documents.

    It's a bit annoying to get the list of packages needed though, since there is not really any working dependency management.

    I wrote a python wrapper around the tex live installer [1] to make this easy for CI jobs, see e.g. [2].

    On a side note: I'd recommend luatex over xetex.
