Ubuntu Memory Allocation Failed
I want to install redis-server on my 512mb RAM VPS server from Digitalocean, I rean the command and I got,
I ran sudo dpkg —configure -a and sudo apt-get -f install, I got
I checked the space,
What am I missing to make redis-server package install?

It means you do not have enough memory to execute the operation.
Flush file system buffers by executing :
If you are still facing the same problem, follow this. To free page cache:

When using the redis-server, there may be problems in the case of using RDB snapshots. For writing, use the BGSAVE command, which forks the current process and in this fork, the data is written to disk. Thus, the main thread is not blocked and the write occurs asynchronously. The problem is that on UNIX systems when fork () is called, the child process also copies the contents of the memory that the parent process uses. Suppose, if Redis currently occupies 2Gb of memory, and there is only 1Gb of free memory left in the system, then the following error may occur when executing the BGSAVE command:
Ubuntu — elasticsearch — Error: Cannot allocate memory
I’m trying to install elasticsearch on my local Ubuntu machine following guide at:
, and when try to run ‘./elasticsearch’, got following error:
Here is memory stats:
Error message from logs:
Already tried earlier version, installing from repositories using apt, nothing worked.
Anyone have any idea what might be the problem?

Looks like you’re trying to start ElasticSearch with the default options, which attempt to set a stack size of 2Go. If you don’t have that free. kaboom (silently).
Have a look in /etc/elasticsearch/jvm.options and modify the lines:
to something that will fit in your available memory. But be aware that ElasticSearch is a great big memory hog and wants it all. You may not get a useful system under the 2Go limit.
First of all, Elasticsearch uses a hybrid mmapfs / niofs directory. The operating system limits on mmap counts, usually default value is 65536. It may result in out-of-memory exceptions. On Linux, you can increase this default kernel value by running the following command as root:
