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. ```auto info [kibana] Running optimizer │ debg Temporarily installing node.js for linux-x64 │ info Running bin/kibana to trigger the optimizer │ debg $ ./bin/kibana --env.name=production --logging.json=false --optimize │ debg log [20:19:47.212] [info][plugins-service] Plugin initialization disabled. │ debg log [20:20:11.760] [info][optimize] Optimizing and caching bundles for graph, monitoring, space_selector, login, logout, logged_out, ml, dashboardViewer, apm, maps, canvas, infra, uptime, kibana, stateSessionStorageRedirect, status_page and timelion.

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

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. ---
