This is an old revision of the document!


If you don’t want these recommended packages, here’s how to stop them from being installed. Create the following file:

/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99_norecommends

and add these contents to it.

APT::Install-Recommends "false";  
APT::AutoRemove::RecommendsImportant "false";  
APT::AutoRemove::SuggestsImportant "false";  

Then do apt autoremove to remove already installed recommends.
