Cannot listen to localhost, heap out of memory

Question

My setup

OS: Linux Mint 20.1 x86_64

node version: v14.16.1

Firstly I cloned the project with git.

Then install the deps with npm install

After that I run the server with npm run dev, but the server is hanging and couldn't listen to localhost:3000

> [email protected] dev /home/roby/web
> sapper dev

After I wait for about 4-5mins this error happened.

I already tried npm package called increase-memory-limit in order to increase the memory limit but it didn't work. I also tried this command but still failed set NODE_OPTIONS=--max_old_space_size=4096

Answer 1

Try this

export NODE_OPTIONS="--max-old-space-size=5120"

or use the one you mention with a export keyword

export set NODE_OPTIONS=--max_old_space_size=4096
