I am trying to install sailsjs globally on my digital ocean vps but every time process seems to get killed . Any idea why it is happening and how I can overcome this problem. Let me know if more debug info is required.

Answer 1

You need to add a SWAP in digitalocean to temporarily store the data when installing sails or Shiny.

Try the following code to allocate storage to a swap file:

sudo fallocate -l xx /swapfile

xx is the disk storage you want to assign, I found 1G is enough for my sails project. Then make the file enable for swap

sudo chmod 600 /swapfile
sudo mkswap /swapfile
sudo swapon /swapfile
