Build fails in ubuntu 18.04

[amritanshujain]

I tried pip3 install buffalo as well as building buffalo from source. The build always fails at -

Scanning dependencies of target cbuffalo [ 12%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/cbuffalo.dir/3rd/json11/json11.cpp.o [ 25%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/cbuffalo.dir/lib/algo.cc.o virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate memory CMakeFiles/cbuffalo.dir/build.make:86: recipe for target 'CMakeFiles/cbuffalo.dir/lib/algo.cc.o' failed make[2]: *** [CMakeFiles/cbuffalo.dir/lib/algo.cc.o] Error 1 CMakeFiles/Makefile2:67: recipe for target 'CMakeFiles/cbuffalo.dir/all' failed make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/cbuffalo.dir/all] Error 2 Makefile:129: recipe for target 'all' failed make: *** [all] Error 2 error: command 'cmake' failed with exit status 2

I even tried building the docker image from the docker file and instructions you mentioned, it also fails on the very same step

@amritanshujain It seems to be lack of memory issue.

CMakeFiles/cbuffalo.dir/lib/algo.cc.o virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate memory

I suspected that. I am working on Mac OS, I built a vagrant box of ubuntu 18.04. Tried increasing the memory of vagrant box to 2gb, still it says memory exhausted. The same thing happens when I build from docker file, is it possible for memory being exhausted for docker as well. This error came around when building using docker -

Can I do something to resolve this?

Have you ever tried with Docker Desktop? Even with limited memory as 2GB, It still works on my Mac.

Hi, I am trying to set it up on a remote ubuntu machine The error it shows is -

There are pre-required packages, please check out: https://buffalo-recsys.readthedocs.io/en/latest/intro.html#requirements. Is cmake installed?

This would be helpful https://github.com/kakao/buffalo/blob/dev/examples/Dockerfile#L4

Thanks a lot. I built it from the source, I was going with pip install for the first time. You can close this issue 😄
