somewhere in your <tt>PATH</tt>. To uninstall it, delete the executable.
This policy is particularly useful when running Fossil inside a
restrictive container, anything from [./chroot.md | classic chroot

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Docker_(software) | Docker].
Our [/file?name=Dockerfile.in&ci=trunk | stock <tt>Dockerfile</tt>]
creates a ~4 MiB [https://opencontainers.org | OCI] image on 64-bit Linux, including
a capable [https://www.busybox.net/ | Busybox] environment for live
diagnostics of the running container.
Modern Linux systems tend to make full static linking
[https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3430400/linux-static-linking-is-dead
| difficult], but our official executables do statically link to OpenSSL
to remove a version dependency, resulting in an executable that's around
6 MiB, depending on the platform. ([Release Build How-To | Details].)
The result is dependent only upon widespread platform libraries with
stable ABIs such as glibc, zlib, etc.

Our [./containers.md | stock container image] is under 8 MB when
uncompressed and running. It contains nothing but a single
statically-linked binary.
If you build a dynamically linked binary instead, Fossil's on-disk size
drops to around 6 MB, and it's dependent only on widespread
platform libraries with stable ABIs such as glibc, zlib, and openssl.
Full static linking is easier on Windows, so our precompiled Windows
binaries are just a ZIP archive
containing only "<tt>fossil.exe</tt>". There is no "<tt>setup.exe</tt>"
to run.
Fossil is easy to build from sources. Just run
