Error FATAL ERROR CALL AND RETRY LAST Allocation failed - JavaScript heap out of memory

Question

When running npm install -g ionic I get the following error:

FATAL ERROR: CALL_AND_RETRY_LAST Allocation failed - JavaScript heap out of memory

Is there a way to globally increase the node.js memory limit?

Hello @kartik,

You can launch NPM using :

node --max-old-space-size=8000 $(which npm) install -g ionic

Hope it helps!!

Thank You!!
