Description

A fresh install of FIBAD on linux (WSL) with python 3.12 requires ~7Gb of disk space. This feels like a lot, and I wonder if there's a better way for us to specify our dependencies to make the install process a little faster.

I know that installation on other platforms will have a different space requirements, so we should take a look at what is required on a mac and on Klone.

Part of this may be addressed as we start to break apart FIBAD to create the ecosystem of components. Generally a large install for a package doesn't bother me, but I think it's getting to be quiet large now.

Research direction

No source files or tests are named. Start by measuring fresh-install disk usage and dependency resolution on Linux/WSL, macOS, and Klone, then inspect how FIBAD specifies its dependencies. Done means the current requirements are understood across those platforms and a justified path toward reducing installation size or speed is documented.
