Help for Aimeos

I have tried every composer option I can find and every one ends up with the same error
proc_open(): fork failed - Cannot allocate memory

Is 1GB enough to run my final shop but not enough to allow an install ?

1GB is enough for running Laravel and Aimeos but composer seems to require more memory for installation. You can try to run composer locally, transfer the installation to your server and run composer again to see if it works for updating.

That was my next thing to try.
Looks like composer is going the way of everything after a while. Its becoming too big and bloated to be any use.

The composer code is small but the package list for packagist is getting huge and the composer code isn't optimized for memory usage
