I have been trying to install node-postgres package in my nodejs application.

But I am getting following error all the times. It gets killed.

root@MyUbuntu:~/MyProject# npm install pg --save
Killed     ........] \ loadExtraneous: verb afterAdd /root/.npm/through/2.3.8/package/package.json written

I have seen other similar questions but they are not related to my specific problem. I was able to install other packages in the same project, it means npm is working fine.

I looked into following questions as well:

NodeJS npm install pg failed

[OOM killer](https://linux-mm.org/OOM_Killer)? – robertklep Feb 19 '17 at 09:31
The memory of my droplet is 512 MB. should I increase the RAM? – SamFast Feb 19 '17 at 09:37
Check system logs (using `dmesg` or `tail -100 /var/log/syslog`) to make sure it's the OOM killer. If so, then you're probably going to need more RAM. – robertklep Feb 19 '17 at 09:39
I found following log `Out of memory: Kill process 5696`. I think I should increase the RAM. Thanks. – SamFast Feb 19 '17 at 13:33
