Hi!
That's most likely an issue with how npm currently does searches and the amount of memory available in your zone: See: https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/6016 npm requires a fair amount of memory to perform searches. The only way around this is to either increase the amount of memory available to your zone (or VM or whatever) or try using curl to download the registry cach (as noted in one of the earlier comments in the above npm issue). -- Christopher Horrell Manager, Solutions Engineering Joyent Inc. http://www.joyent.com/ On Wed, Apr 8, 2015 at 8:52 AM, Sam M <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello. > I'm running an npm search in a Zone VM with 4 cores, 1 GB RAM and 1 GB > swap.
