Hello,
I have been following this tutorial on how to get started with Ruby on Rails:
But got stuck when running bundle install, the install gets killed halfway…
root@X:/home/rails/sample_tasks# bundle install
Don't run Bundler as root. Bundler can ask for sudo if it is needed, and installing your bundle as root will break this application for all non-root users on this machine.

It’s because you are running out of memory. Try adding more swap: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-add-swap-on-ubuntu-12-04 Or bump up to a bigger droplet.
Great, bumping up to 1GB RAM resolved the issue. It was the gem nokogiri that broke the install. Thank you for your fast response!
