Hi there, I'm kinda a beginner in this programation thing so I don't really know how most of things work and I have to learn using Kraken2 to graduate from university so here is my question. I don't have a strong enough computer so I'm downloading a created database that weights 8gb, okey, following the manual for Custom Databases, that I guess applies to the downloaded ones, I have to download the taxonomy but, do I have to download every reference library? Like, do I have to download archaea, bacteria, protozoan and all of them? Because, as I said, my PC almost don't have any space in the hard drive to download the bacteria files, that I suppose are the most important of them. Thank you so much and I hope I don't botter
