I have to justify this on a laptop with a small SSD and a quota I did not choose. Before I ask for more space I would like a real number rather than "a few hundred megabytes".
What does each part cost?

How much disk does a full SDODS install actually need?

Accepted answer
Roughly, and in the order they land:
- The SDODS packages themselves: about 9 MB. They ship compiled, so there is no source tree.
- With their dependencies, the global install comes to around 400 MB.
- Each browser engine adds about 500 MB on top, in a cache shared with any other Playwright tool on the machine.
- Installing from source instead (
--source git) clones the repository and installs every workspace, which needs about 1.5 GB.
So the default — packages plus Chromium only — is roughly 900 MB. If you only run API scenarios,
--browsers nonekeeps it under half of that.bashcurl -fsSL https://sdods.com/install.sh | sh -s -- --browsers noneanswered by Daniel Oyelaranmaintainer24,177 ·The number that surprises people later is the browser cache, because it does not shrink when you uninstall — it is shared, so removing SDODS deliberately leaves it alone.
Check it before you ask for a quota increase; you may already be paying for it:
