| 1 | +# How do I opt out of Meta packages? |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +By default, projects created using the SAFE template depend on the SAFE.Meta packages. This package provides functionality, but mainly exists to simplify dependency management; a standard SAFE app might very well exist with only two dependencies, being the SAFE.Client and SAFE.Server packages. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +If your app starts deviating a lot from the standard SAFE app, you might want to uninstall the SAFE.Meta packages, so that you can remove packages it pulls in. This recipe explains how to do so. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +## 1. Add the SAFE dependencies explicitly to your SAFE app. |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +Add the packages that SAFE.Meta relies on as explicit dependencies: |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +> Instead of using the snippets here, you can also copy these sections from the [SAFE.Meta repository](https://github.com/SAFE-Stack/SAFE.Meta), to make sure you have the most up-to-date versions |

| 62 | + |
| 63 | +```bash |
| 64 | +dotnet paket install |
| 65 | +``` |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +This will remove the Meta packages from paket.lock, and may, depending on how up-to-date your project is, update any out-of-date packages. |

| 88 | +## 2. Copy SAFE.Meta functionality into your own project |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +If you are using any of the code supplied by the Meta packages, you need to copy the code into your own project: |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +Navigate to the [SAFE.Meta repository](https://github.com/SAFE-Stack/SAFE.Meta) and copy the following files into your repository: |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +* src/SAFE.Client/SAFE.fs -> src/Client/SAFE.fs |
| 95 | +* src/SAFE.Server/SAFE.fs -> src/Server/SAFE.fs |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +and update the corresponding project files: |

| 142 | + |
| 143 | +## 3. Use Paket to remove any redundant dependencies |
| 144 | + |
| 145 | +You're now able to remove any dependencies you do not need with Paket. |
| 146 | + |
| 147 | +```bash |
| 148 | +dotnet paket remove <package-name> |
| 149 | +``` |
