It's about 20 megabytes I think.

Hi pablito_897. You can run Scratch with less than 10 MB, if you remove all the media files (sounds, pictures, sample projects) after your installation, as Scratch doesn't need them to be fully functionable. You can also safely remove all help files, and - all of the translations you don't need.

Re: How much space does Scratch take??

Scratch Requires ar least 120 megabytes of free space to install Scratch.

Jens is correct, you can remove the bulky files in the media folder, sample projects, and help files, to reduce the file size.

For more information on the system requirements, please see this forum topic:
