Were you adding it through apt-get or pip? With apt-get it's fairly painless.

    apt-cache depends glances

  Depends: python-psutil
  Depends: <python:any>
    python:i386
    python
  Depends: <python:any>
    python:i386
    python
  Depends: python
  Depends: python-pkg-resources
  Depends: adduser
  Depends: lsb-base
  Recommends: python-jinja2


apt-get. It was painless, and I have the diskspace so not a big deal. Looking at package properties I see it recommends a bunch of packages, so it installed those and their deps (this is Ubuntu 15.10):

    hddtemp, lm-sensors, python3-docker,
    python3-bottle, python3-pysnmp4, 
    python3-influxdb ...


optional dependencies are optional for a reason, no real reason to bring it up as a con.


I just described by experience of installing it. It wasn't a huge issue, I installed them anyway after all.
