How to install for specific platform?

[danstewart]

Hi,

Sorry if this is a stupid question, I've got swc installed in debian based docker container but npm is installing all the platforms which totals up to 1.1GB.

Is there something I can do to only install what's needed and reduce the space used?

Install command in my Dockerfile:

RUN npm install --production --global sass @swc/core @swc/cli && rm -rf /root/.npm

node_modules after building:

---

I have found a bit of a workaround by switching to yarn and cleaning up after it but not keen on depending on yarn v1

RUN npm install --production --global yarn && yarn global add --ignore-platform sass @swc/core @swc/cli chokidar && rm -rf /root/.npm && rm -rf /usr/local/share/.cache

I suppose I could also just delete all the unneeded versions manually when using npm.

Thanks

Have went with this

RUN bash -c "npm install --production --global sass @swc/core @swc/cli chokidar && rm -rf /root/.npm && rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node_modules/@swc/core/node_modules/@swc/core-{android,darwin,freebsd,win32,linux-arm,linux-x64-musl}*"

Another option would be to use the rust binary (installed in a different docker build stage) but there are some slight differences and it's a similar end image size:
