My laptop is a Windows 10 Asus netbook with very little (32GB) storage space. I currently use an Ubuntu 18.04 computer for Mathematica, but I would like to be able to use it on my netbook instead. (I do sometimes use X11|SSH to run mathematica on my laptop, but the lag becomes frustrating quickly.)

Is there any way to install the notebook interface and documentation without installing the kernel at all? If not, is there any way to install it and subsequently delete the kernel?

  • $\begingroup$ Well I don't really want Mathematica on the laptop at all, I basically want remote desktop with a more responsive front-end. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ The documentation is by far the largest footprint. It would be better to find a way to install Mathematica without the documentation if you are concerned about space. You can use the online documentation instead. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ If your concern is saving space, then removing the kernel doesn't help much. Please see this answer to understand that the documentation is by far the largest part of the installation. $\endgroup$
