avm install 0.28.0 gives "cannot compile `libsecp256k1` (lib) error" on AWS EC2 Ubuntu and Digital Ocean Ubuntu droplet, no issues locally

Question

So I'm trying to setup a solana anchor project with a smart contract and client, and I cannot get anchor installed properly on either AWS EC2 instances nor on Digital ocean ubuntu droplets. Please see attached image:

I have zero issues running the install commands on my local ubuntu environment. I have tried a handful of different things such as downloading anchor via npm package manager, installing libsecp256k1 seprately, and a lot more. See my ChatGPT convo linked here: https://chat.openai.com/share/aad43512-5b68-4f1e-98cf-36a7645e4b82

The project I am trying to utilize is linked below. I am using this as a basis for a solana smart contract.

Here are the resources I have been following for install commands:

Here is the dockerized version of my install commands I am running. The error occurs on "avm install 0.28.0"

According to https://github.com/paritytech/libsecp256k1/issues/94, you need at least 2GB of RAM to compile the library. Given that, you can either download pre-built binaries or get a machine with more RAM.
