Slim Distribution

The slim distribution allows you to save memory by excluding Management Center and connectors. You add the additional components as required.

To install a slim distribution, you can use any of the available installation options by appending -slim to the version number in the command; for example, to install the slim distribution of 5.3.8, use 5.3.8-slim.
