Description of my issue

Looks like it’s running out of memory trying to install glitch-soc - I have 1 GB of memory.

Let me know if I can provide any other details!

You can add a temporary (or not) swap partition to use your disk/ssd space for memory. In the command line:

(I put 2G, for 2GB. Reduce it if you are tight on space, like 1G)

sudo fallocate -l 2G /swapfile
sudo chmod 600 /swapfile
sudo mkswap /swapfile
sudo swapon /swapfile

Confirm it’s working with: sudo swapon --show and free -mh

Let’s make it permanent:

echo "/swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0" | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab

You can then retry installing the app. Be wary, it will still take quite some time.

Thanks for your reply! I created a 2GB swap partition (it did take a while!), but unfortunately I’m still running into the exact same error message.

I upgraded my VPS to 2 GB memory and after quite some time, the installation worked!!
