I am trying to add HWIOAuthBundle to my project by running the below command.
composer require hwi/oauth-bundle php-http/guzzle6-adapter php-http/httplug-bundle
HWIOAuthBundle github: https://github.com/hwi/HWIOAuthBundle
When I try to run composer require I am getting the out of memory error.
Using version ^0.6.0#dev for hwi/oauth-bundle Using version ^1.2#dev
for php-http/guzzle6-adapter Using version ^1.10#dev for
php-http/httplug-bundle ./composer.json has been updated Loading

I tried setting the memory_limit to 2G in my php.ini file but did not work. I found my php.ini by running php -i | grep php.ini
To get the current memory_limit value, run:
php -r "echo ini_get('memory_limit').PHP_EOL;"
Try increasing the limit in your php.ini file (ex. /etc/php5/cli/php.ini for Debian-like systems):
; Use -1 for unlimited or define an explicit value like 2G
memory_limit = -1
Or, you can increase the limit with a command-line argument:
php -d memory_limit=-1 composer.phar require hwi/oauth-bundle php-http/guzzle6-adapter php-http/httplug-bundle
To get loaded php.ini files location try:
php --ini
Another quick solution:
php composer.phar COMPOSER_MEMORY_LIMIT=-1 require hwi/oauth-bundle php-http/guzzle6-adapter php-http/httplug-bundle
Or just:
COMPOSER_MEMORY_LIMIT=-1 composer require hwi/oauth-bundle php-http/guzzle6-adapter php-http/httplug-bundle
In my case I was trying to require this package when I got this error.
You can run like this, and you don't have to update the PHP INI file:
COMPOSER_MEMORY_LIMIT=-1 composer require huddledigital/zendesk-laravel
Another solution from the manual:
Composer also respects a memory limit defined by the COMPOSER_MEMORY_LIMIT environment variable:
COMPOSER_MEMORY_LIMIT=-1 composer.phar <...>
Or in my case
export COMPOSER_MEMORY_LIMIT=-1
composer <...>
Same problem, none of anything related to "memory_limit" worked, but..
composer self-update --2
..solved my problem. (upgrade: 1.10.17 -> 2.0.4)
On Windows 10;
Goto C:\ProgramData\ComposerSetup\bin
Edit: composer.bat and add memory_limit=-1 in the last line as shown below.
#echo OFF
:: in case DelayedExpansion is on and a path contains !
setlocal DISABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
php -d memory_limit=-1 "%~dp0composer.phar" %*
Problem solved ;)
Since none of the previous answers included set it took me a bit to figure out how to do it in Windows without altering the php.ini, but here's what worked for me:
set COMPOSER_MEMORY_LIMIT=-1
composer require hwi/oauth-bundle php-http/guzzle6-adapter php-http/httplug-bundle
I have bypassed the problem in a Homestead Laravel (vagrant) virtual machine running the composer commands preceded by COMPOSER_MEMORY_LIMIT=-1:
Examples
To update Composer:
COMPOSER_MEMORY_LIMIT=-1 composer update
To install a package:
COMPOSER_MEMORY_LIMIT=-1 composer require spatie/laravel-translatable
For this error in macOS Catalina and macOS Big Sur use this line:
php -d memory_limit=-1 /usr/local/bin/composer update --no-plugins
I used this line to update on Symfony 5. This command also worked with laravel 7.
Just set the memory_limit specifying the full route of your composer.phar file and update, in my case with the command:
php -d memory_limit=-1 C:/wamp64/composer.phar update
Sometimes the problem is in the composer memory limit. In my case, I tried increasing the php memory limit but still got the error.
You can use COMPOSER_MEMORY_LIMIT=-1 to get around that.
Use it as a prefix:
COMPOSER_MEMORY_LIMIT=-1 composer require the/library
You have to prefix it again in the future.
Hope this helps.
It was recently identified that Composer consumes high CPU + memory on packages that have a lot of historical tags. See composer/composer#7577
A workaround to this problem is using symfony/flex or https://github.com/rubenrua/symfony-clean-tags-composer-plugin
composer global require rubenrua/symfony-clean-tags-composer-plugin
Just in case you get a composer error with:
Could not open input file: composer
run:
php -d memory_limit=-1 /usr/local/bin/composer require ...
For skipping memory limit and version error use the code below:
COMPOSER_MEMORY_LIMIT=-1 composer require <package-name> --ignore-platform-reqs
what about windows?
i use windows 10 and this command worked for me,
php -d memory_limit=-1 "C:\ProgramData\ComposerSetup\bin\composer.phar" update
Composer 2.0 preview is available now: https://github.com/composer/composer/releases
Fixed issue for me. You can set up a preview with composer self-update --preview
EDIT: Composer 2 with memory tuning released
For me, this works on shared hosting.
COMPOSER_MEMORY_LIMIT=-1 composer update
You can use a specific php Version when running Composer
If, like me, for some reason, you are using PHP 32 bits even though your computer is 64 bits, this will always limit the amount of memory allocated to Composer. I solved my problem this way:
Install a 64 bits php version somewhere on your computer (let's say in C:/php64)
In composer (using cygwin in my case), run:
COMPOSER_MEMORY_LIMIT=-1 C:/php64/php.exe ../composer.phar update
in windows by xampp i just changed:
;memory_limit=512M
in php.ini to:
memory_limit =-1
then restart the Apache by xampp
this is the result:
; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume
; http://php.net/memory-limit
memory_limit =-1
;memory_limit=512M
On Mac php 7.4
run
php --ini
Configuration File (php.ini) Path: /usr/local/etc/php/7.4
Loaded Configuration File: /usr/local/etc/php/7.4/php.ini
Scan for additional .ini files in: /usr/local/etc/php/7.4/conf.d
Additional .ini files parsed: /usr/local/etc/php/7.4/conf.d/ext-opcache.ini,

If Additional .ini files parsed:
memory_limit needs to be changed in
/usr/local/etc/php/7.4/conf.d/php-memory-limits.ini
As Jose Seie writes, set memory to
memory_limit = -1 or memory_limit = 1G
Just want to share my situation on this matter.
Problem context:
Running composer in a vagrant box.
Was getting this message after try to run composer require "laravel-doctrine/orm:~1.4.13":
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 1610612736 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 4096 bytes) in phar:///usr/local/bin/composer/src/Composer/DependencyResolver/RuleWatchGraph.php on line 52
Check https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/troubleshooting.md#memory-limit-errors for more info on how to handle out of memory errors.
Have tried setting php.ini memory limit to -1. (still not working).
Solution:
Apparently my composer.json and composer.lock has some issues.
Ran $ composer validate, and the result was:
"The lock file is not up to date with the latest changes in composer.json, it is recommended that you run composer update."
So I ran $ composer update, and all dependencies are resolved. Imho, when the dependencies has some issues, maybe the tree building is out of sync, hence the out of memory issue.
Hope this helps anyone out there.
To override this and fix the issue on your local machine you can do the following changes within your php.ini configuration file.
To locate your php.ini configuration file you can use the following command: php --ini
After running this command you should see an output like the following:
Configuration File (php.ini) Path: /usr/local/etc/php/7.3
Loaded Configuration File: /usr/local/etc/php/7.3/php.ini <---- note the path
Scan for additional .ini files in: /usr/local/etc/php/7.3/conf.d
Additional .ini files parsed: /usr/local/etc/php/7.3/conf.d/ext-opcache.ini
The file we want to change is the Loaded Configuration.
Open and search for the memory_limit you can set the memory_limit = -1 to give an unlimited amount of memory to PHP processes or you can set 512MB, 1G, 2G, 5G,....
$ nano /usr/local/etc/php/7.3/php.ini
locate and set:
$ memory_limit = -1 or memory_limit = 1G
After saving your file, you can verify the PHP changes by running this command which will output the current memory settings in your php.ini file:
php -r "echo ini_get('memory_limit').PHP_EOL;"
NOTE:
After saving, the new memory will be working. You don't need to do anything else.

for Centos 7 use :
COMPOSER_MEMORY_LIMIT=-1 composer require hwi/oauth-bundle php-http/guzzle6-adapter php-http/httplug-bundle

set memory_limit to -1 works for me ;) (vim /etc/php/7.2/cli/php.ini)
For Macbook:
run command sudo nano ~/.bash_profile to edit bash_profile then add alias composer="COMPOSER_MEMORY_LIMIT=-1 composer" in that file, then save and exit.
Hope this will solve the problem; Happy coding!
I condensed or packaged up the useful and accepted answer here into reusable (zsh) aliases/functions, for quicker and easier-to-remember reuse:
# composer high-memory
composermem() {
php -r "echo ini_get('memory_limit').PHP_EOL;"
}
alias composerbig='COMPOSER_MEMORY_LIMIT=-1 composer $1'
(php composer.phar is already aliased to composer on the system).
I solved this problem using this command COMPOSER_MEMORY_LIMIT=-1
Example: COMPOSER_MEMORY_LIMIT=-1 composer requires larval/ui
the options on this page worked for me
https://www.jesusamieiro.com/php-fatal-error-allowed-memory-size-of-1610612736-bytes-exhausted/
To be more precise solution one:
COMPOSER_MEMORY_LIMIT=-1 composer update
Make sure to not require a package before making sure the vendor folder exists.
Check if you have done composer install before. You may be just cloned the repository to your machine. So, you have to install the old packages before requiring a new one. Or you may want to include this option --profile to your composer command to see the timing and memory usage information.
In my case:
Windows 10 and Docker Desktop works:
docker-compose -f .docker/docker-compose.yml exec php env COMPOSER_MEMORY_LIMIT=-1 composer require fideloper/proxy
You just need to increase memory limit on "php.ini" file to solve the problem
find the "memory_limit" in php.ini file.
just change memory_limit value to 2G like below
;http://php.net/memory-limit
memory_limit=2G
to relocate the php file by using below command.
php --ini
I have tried to run 'composer update' command inside docker container in Aws ec2 instance. But I get this error
mmap() failed: [12] Cannot allocate memory
mmap() failed: [12] Cannot allocate memory
Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 478179328) (tried to allocate 20996408 bytes) in phar:///usr/local/bin/composer/src/Composer/Util/RemoteFilesystem.php on line 462
I have tried using "memory_limit = -1" or "memory_limit = 2G" in the php configaration file.
I have also tried to run this command "php -d memory_limit=-1 /usr/local/bin/composer update" inside my docker container.
But it still shows the same error
Run composer update in your local environment, then commit composer.json and composer.lock to your code repository, pull the changes in your ec2 instance and run composer install.
Commonly, low resource servers don't have enough RAM to run composer update. You're better off doing it in your local environment, and only using composer install on your server.
When I try this to install Laravel:
composer global require "laravel/installer"
i will get this error:
Installation failed, deleting ./composer.json.
The following exception is caused by a lack of memory and not having swap configured

The following exception is caused by a lack of memory and not having swap configured
Check https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/troubleshooting.md#proc-open-fork-failed-errors for details
I guess i fixed it with these commands. I this the right way? Does anyone knows?
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1024 count=512k
mkswap /swapfile
swapon /swapfile
I'm using Digitalocean and using 512 MB / 20 GB Disk / Ubuntu 16.04.3 x64
Rather global require use composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel project
or create a composer.json file. put the content in it, then run composer install because composer install takes less memory then composer update.
Hope this helps.
