Hi ,

I am trying to install magento 2.4.0 on 

__| __|_ )
_| ( / Amazon Linux AMI
___|\___|___|

https://aws.amazon.com/amazon-linux-ami/2018.03

It has 1 GB RAM

Below are the commands used 

$ composer create-project --repository-url =https://repo.magento.com/ magento/project-community-edition .
Creating a "magento/project-community-edition" project at "./"
Installing magento/project-community-edition (2.4.0)
- Installing magento/project-community-edition (2.4.0): Downloading (100%) Created project in /var/www/html/magento240/.
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
Killed

I was parallelly checking in another SSH session. It is very obvious that I ran out of RAM below are the details. 

Is there any solution or workaround where I can install it with 1 GB ram?

Hi @Nishu Jindal ,

Tried the mentioned, but its giving invalid argument error.

$ /usr/bin/php -d memory_limit=-1 /usr/local/bin/composer create-project --repository-url =https://repo.magento.com/ magento/project-community-edition .

[InvalidArgumentException]
Invalid repository url (=https://repo.magento.com/) given. Has to be a .jso
n file, an http url or a JSON object.

Also Tried with simple composer line but now its giving same error which was working earlier.

$ composer create-project --repository-url =https://repo.magento.com/ magento/project-community-edition .

hi @Nishu Jindal ,

I figured out , there is a space in the command between "url" and "=". rectified the same.

/usr/bin/php -d memory_limit=-1 /usr/local/bin/composer create-project --repository-url =https://repo.magento.com/ magento/project-community-edition .
