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?

u can run this cmd if ur project hanging at 91
sudo apt-get install libpng16-dev
From what I understand, this happens when the process is taking too many resources for you droplet. What worked for me was installing all my required packages one by one, but I assume this could also be done using a shell script.
I have the same problem. Is there a workaround?
EDIT: Maybe it’s possible to create a gulp task that runs npm install in batches… I might look into that when I have free time on my hands.
