Is there a way to install large pip packages on basic droplet instances. There seems like some process which anneals the network bandwith after 700mbs and evantually kills pip - preventing the package from installing. Note process id 17918 was the pip process.
For example:
python -m pip install torch
Here is the shell log of the above command failing:
(tinygrad) root@transformer-cpu ~/tinygrad # â¯â¯â¯ python -m pip install torch â 1 master

Hi there @iainondigitalocean,
It sounds like that you are running out of RAM, what you could do is to add a SWAP file so that you could have some extra buffer:

Another thing that I’ve seen people reporting as working is to add the
--no-cache-dir
to yourpip install
command.Let me know how it goes. Regards, Bobby
