The installers install a full version of the component. If resources are tight or you want minimal disk usage (for say a Docker environment) you can remove some elements of the installation using the script trim_cm_install.py, located in the scripts directory of the Helix QAC installation.
You will need to run this script for each component you want to trim.
A similar script called
trim_install.py can be used to trim the Helix QAC installation. Refer to Post Installation Customization for more information.usage: trim_cm_install.py [-h] [-v] [--dry-run] [-d INSTALL_DIR] [-j] [-r] [-m] [-a]optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit

For example, if Helix QAC is installed under the /home/trinity directory then Japanese can be removed from the install using a command such as:
/home/trinity/Helix-QAC-2021.3/components/python-3.*/bin/python /home/trinity/Helix-QAC-2021.3/scripts/trim_cm_install.py --install_dir /home/trinity/m3cm-2.1.0 --remove-japaneseUnless you are located at the root of the component you wish to modify you should use the --install-dir option and manually specify the location of the component you want to modify.
