Computer always freezes when building during the installing process

I'm trying to install emsdk following this tutorial: http://webassembly.org/getting-started/developers-guide/
But my computer always freezes up when building, and always around 20-30%.
Freezes during the installing process from this line: ./emsdk install sdk-incoming-64bit binaryen-master-64bit in Xubuntu 16.04

ok, now I'm getting stuck around 60-70%

Well that's kind of expected given that it builds a huge project.

Can you post the logs of what is printed before the freeze? Does installing with -j1 have any effect?

@brunoczim I had such issues with disabled swap and 8GB RAM. Some ld runs need up to 6GB memory.

Solution is to add enougth swap. Or you can try to disable parallel runs via make -j1 as said above, but that will do build much slower.
