Killed

Mention any other details that might be useful.

I've tried to run the command many times (with and without sudo), I always get this message during installtion: Killed.
After this message, the installation exits.

I've installed nodejs and npm this way:

sudo apt-get install nodejs
sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy
sudo apt-get install npm

Thanks! We'll be in touch soon.

Ok according to this issue #1192, it's because angular cli need at least 1GB Ram. I only have 512.

We do have a very big dependency tree now, yes (#1263). That causes some machines to have problems with npm install. There isn't much I can do to help now :/

Ran into this issue as well and came across this solution. I followed the DigitalOcean guide for adding swap instead though.

I ran into this issue on my Raspberry Pi 3 with 1 GB RAM. Don't know how Angular-CLI install the npm packages, but for me the following worked: Create your Angular app without installing all the packages using --skip-install switch like ng new client --skip-install. Then go to the directory (here with cd client) and run npm install.

This is going to take a while on my RPI3 and result in memory peaks of about 800 MB and also the 100MB swap are full. So there shouldn't be to much running apps on it. But using this methods, it seems that all dependencies were installed:

root@1ce293b0533c:/app/client# npm install
npm WARN prefer global node-gyp@3.6.2 should be installed with -g

> node-sass@4.5.3 install /app/client/node_modules/node-sass
> node scripts/install.js

Now it serves successfully using ng serve (note that --public-host fixes this issue where we get a Invalid host header error in the browser)

root@1ce293b0533c:/app/client# ng serve --host=0.0.0.0 --port=3000 --public-host=http://pi3
