# Memory limit errors
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If composer shows memory errors on some commands:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of XXXXXX bytes exhausted <...>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `memory_limit` ini value should be increased.
|
|
|

|
|
|
> **Note:** Composer internaly increases the memory_limit to 256M.
|
|
|
|
|
> It is a good idea to create an issue for composer if you get memory errors.

Get current value:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
php -r "echo ini_get('memory_limit').PHP_EOL;"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Increase limit with `php.ini` for a `CLI SAPI` (ex. `/etc/php5/cli/php.ini` for Debian-like systems):
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
; Use -1 for unlimited or define explicit value like 512M
|
2012-08-24 09:53:02 +00:00
|
|
|
memory_limit = -1
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-08-24 10:35:16 +00:00
|
|
|
Or with command line arguments:
|
2012-08-24 09:53:02 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
php -d memory_limit=-1 composer.phar <...>
|
|
|
|
|
