Question
NPM gets killed no matter what.
- Posted October 29, 2014
I have a droplet with Ubuntu 12.04 where i have installed node and npm. But no matter what i try, npm works a little and the gets “killed”. It happens if i try “npm update” or “npm install”.
Anyone know what causes this and if there is a solution?

To solve this issue on 14.04 and 16.04:
sudo fallocate -l 1G /swapfile
sudo chmod 600 /swapfile
sudo mkswap /swapfile
sudo swapon /swapfile
sudo swapon --show
sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak
echo '/swapfile none swap sw 0 0' | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
sudo sysctl vm.swappiness=10
echo 'vm.swappiness=10' | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf
sudo sysctl vm.vfs_cache_pressure=50
echo 'vm.vfs_cache_pressure=50' | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf
This will create a swap file of 1GB

Cheapest solution is to create a swap file, it only takes 5 minutes and you don’t need to pay anything extra. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-add-swap-on-ubuntu-14-04
If you however need speed, you should increase the droplet.
