Keystonejs - installing dependencies with npm fails

Question

I've wasted four hours now trying to install all dependencies of my 'keystonejs` project in production.

npm just hangs and then I get this message:

<--- Last few GCs --->

}

UPDATE: I'm using node 5.7 and npm 3.6

I was looking at this which suggests updating to npm 3, but you're already running it. Maybe npm actually doesn't have enough memory? Keystone installs a metric ton of stuff iirc https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/issues/19070 — Peter G, Mar 08 '16 at 23:44
is there any way to download all dependecies without npm and then install them with npm? — danielrvt, Mar 08 '16 at 23:46

You need more memory on your server for npm. Simply add some as explained at https://stackoverflow.com/a/17173973/124416:

sudo /bin/dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/swap.1 bs=1M count=1024
sudo /sbin/mkswap /var/swap.1
sudo /sbin/swapon /var/swap.1
