m Needs more Ram

* A running Linux installation (This guide uses Debian)

* At least 1GB of RAM
* At least 2GB of RAM
* root ssh access
* root ssh access
* The same architecture as your local machine
* The same architecture as your local machine


Note: If you need a $5 DO droplet which only has 500MB of RAM, get a higher tier one temporarily and resize it to your desired size later. To be able to resize it, the installation droplet needs to have less than or equal amounts of disk space than your target size. E.g. get the $15 droplet which has 20GB of disk space like the $5 one (but the $10 one currently doesn't work as it has 30GB disk space).
Note: DigitalOcean allows you to resize the droplet temporarily, which you can use to get enough RAM to do this, while reverting it once done.
