Magento2: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of

Question

I try install module via composer.

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 1610612736 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 4096 bytes) in phar:///usr/local/bin/composer/src/Composer/DependencyResolver/RuleWatchGraph.php on line 52
Check https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/troubleshooting.md#memory-limit-errors for more info on how to handle out of memory errors.

I change in php.ini memory_limit to 1024M

Still the same issue.

Any solution?

Answer 1

you need to change memory limit to 2048M- you have 1.5Gb in error log. or try to use direct memory settings

php -d memory_limit=-1 composer require "vendor/package"

Answer 2

You can use the below command for setting the memory limit as unlimited

php -d memory_limit=-1 composer require "vendorName/ModuleName"

Another way you can change memory_limit=-1 in php.ini file

Answer 3

Just give -1 as memory_limit value. The composer command in this case becomes the argument of php command, so you need to provide its absolute path. Or you can use the which command

php -d memory_limit=-1 $(which composer) require "vendor/package"
