I am trying to build kibana branch 6.8 from source code with command
node script/build.js --release
And I saw below error at when about finish building.

When I try with ---oss parameter it passed.

Could any body help me see what should I do?

Thank you!

Hey @jasmineL, I'd recommend specifying the --max-old-space-size=4000 argument when building to ensure you have enough heap to build:

node --max-old-space-size=4000 script/build.js --release

Hi Brandon,
Thanks for your reply. I tried your option to increase heap size even to 8192 and it crash again.... Is there any other options to try?
And by the way, is that possible to build installed plugins to kibana package?
Thanks!

Thanks for your reply. I tried your option to increase heap size even to 8192 and it crash again.... Is there any other options to try?

Do you have enough free memory on the computer itself which is building Kibana?

And by the way, is that possible to build installed plugins to kibana package?

I'm not aware of a way to do so, I'll check with others to see if they know of a way.

Also, if you could try using NODE_OPTIONS="--max-old-space-size=4096" node script/build.js --release as well.

Thanks Brandon.

NODE_OPTIONS="--max-old-space-size=4096" node script/build.js --release

This finally works! Thanks a lot for your help.
