This is quite a common error we encounter when we are using the forever module of node.

One of the most important things to do is a Pre-requisite tuning on your operating system before you deploy and run the node applications there.

One of such an important pre-requisite tuning is Enabling swap memory in Linux operating system.

If you have missed that in the beginning, don’t worry follow these steps from the root user and enable swap.

• free -m
• fallocate -l 4G /swapfile
• chmod 600 /swapfile
• mkswap /swapfile
• swapon /swapfile
• echo “/swapfile none swap sw 0 0” | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab

I hope this solves your problem, and if it doesn’t, please post the error in the comment section.
