[SOLVED] Composer: Cannot allocate memory in phar
ErrorException: proc_open(): fork failed - Cannot allocate memory in phar:///usr/local/bin/composer/vendor/symfony/console/Application.php on line 954
It's because of a lack of memory. You need to set up a swap file so that composer can do it's thing:
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1024 count=512k
mkswap /swapfile
swapon /swapfile
