How much RAM is needed to run the interactive script?

[Martin36]

When running python scripts/pipeline/interactive.py, I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "scripts/pipeline/interactive.py", line 70, in <module>
    tokenizer=args.tokenizer
  File "/mnt/d/Documents/NLP/DrQA/drqa/pipeline/drqa.py", line 146, in __init__

    self.pid = os.fork()
OSError: [Errno 12] Cannot allocate memory

I am running the script in Ubuntu for Windows 10, with a 16 GB RAM. When looking at one of the files that are imported docs-tfidf-ngram=2-hash=16777216-tokenizer=simple.npz I noticed that it was 12.2 GB in size. I figured that this would probably explain the error.

So my question is then, how much memory is needed to run the interactive script?

Thanks in advance 😄
