Then you most likely do not have enough space on your machine.
Resolution
- For a Development system, 8GB is the minimum amount of memory, with 16GB recommended.
- For a Production system, the minimum says 16GB, with 32GB recommended.
We always recommend implementing more than the minimum requirements, so you can have many processes running, without running into CPU issues due to not enough memory to compensate for all of the activity. The minimum amount of memory will allow you to run the application, but you will not be able to run processes.
If you do not know how much memory your machine has, you can run the following command from the command line to find out:
free -m
Here is an example of the output (in MB):
[oracle@small-18 ~]$ free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 7982 7828 154 0 32 6662
-/+ buffers/cache: 1132 6850
Swap: 8191 181 8010
This shows that the machine has ~8GB of memory (7982 for total).
