npm install - javascript heap out of memory

node.js, npm, npm-install

Solution

You can launch NPM using :

`node --max-old-space-size=8000 $(which npm) install -g ionic`

As described here, the default is 4000 (4Gb).

Problem

When running `npm install -g ionic` I get the following error: FATAL ERROR: CALL_AND_RETRY_LAST Allocation failed - JavaScript heap out of memory Is there a way to globally increase the node.js memory limit?
