I had some complication when installing RVM on a fresh EC2 instance. Turned out when I do

$ echo $SHELL

I got /bin/sh. So I had to switch to /bin/bash and RVM installation was smooth.

Issue: Error running composer install

$ composer install/ $ composer update
$ PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught exception 'ErrorException' with message 'proc_open(): 
fork failed - Cannot allocate memory' in phar:///usr/local/bin/composer/vendor/symfony/console/Symfony/Component/Console/Application.php:990

Solution

$ nano /etc/php5/fpm/php.ini

...

php_admin_value[memory_limit] = 128M # change this accordingly; I did 256M

$ service php5-fpm reload
$ composer update
