Installation fails

philippensm

This is a very interesting project, so I took my Raspberry Pi 3B (1Gb memory) and tried to install Bambuddy. But it keeps failing. I tried Debian 13 first, but that failed twice, so I tried Ubuntu (both burned with the Raspberry Pi image tool) but that fails too. So I'm stumped now. What can I do? Is the Pi3 not good enough? Do I really need one with more memory?

This is the error:

I included a bit more, since it also complains about the npm version. I don't understand that, because I think the Bambuddy installer is the one that installed that. So maybe it should pick the @latest build.

Can anybody tell me what's wrong and how to fix this, if it can be fixed...

Your RPI runs out of memory. You need at least 2GB of memory.

Yeah, I saw on the page for Spoolbuddy that 2Gb is the minimum. I found another mini-PC in my collection that can manage the installation. So, it's all good. Maybe nice to put it on the Bambuddy pages as well.
Wonderful product by the way! It works like a charm. Thanks for sharing this!
