[goooxu]

Create a B1s type Azure VM (Ubuntu 16.04), and try to follow the command

git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/nni.git@v0.4
cd nni
make easy-install

to install nni, but it stuck, the last message is

$ react-app-rewired build --scripts-version react-scripts-ts

How to solve this problem?

[lipingbj]

I can't install the nni by encountering this problem.

Please use a VM with larger memory (> 4GB), recommend 8GB

[lipingbj]

Is 4GB enough?

[scarlett2018]

@lipingbj - in v0.3, we start to support pip package install which requires less Memory during installation.

May you try the following method to install with 4GB memory:
python3 -m pip install --user --upgrade nni

@goooxu Could you please help confirm if it is fixed since NNI v0.3.x?

[goooxu]

@yds05 still reproduce in v0.4

For NNI installation, please make sure your system meet the recommended system requirement: https://github.com/Microsoft/nni/blob/master/docs/Installation.md#system-requirements
