[FIXED] Composer require runs out of memory. PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 1610612736 bytes exhausted Voyager

Issue

Hi, I am trying solve some problem when I am install voyager. When I try to run composer require I am getting the out of memory error. I am not understand what exably happend. Its result on my console:

@DESKTOP->>>>> /c/xampp/htdocs/ (master) $ composer require tcg/voyager Using version ^1.4 for tcg/voyager ./composer.json has been updated Loading composer repositories with package information Updating dependencies (including require-dev) PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 1610612736 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 134217736 bytes) in phar://C:/composer/composer.phar/src/Composer/DependencyResolver/RuleSet.php on line 83```

Maybe there's a problem with the composer.JSON, something I need to check out. What you should pay attention to what is the problem My composer.json file``` {

Solution

Looks like you are using xampp. you can try to change the memory_limit in php.ini.

Find this:

;memory_limit=512M 

Change to :

memory_limit =-1

Then restart the Apache from xampp
