When I'm trying to install a new bundle with composer, I'm always running into this problem:

PHP Fatal error:  Out of memory (allocated 1690828800) (tried to allocate 268435456 bytes) in phar://C:/.../composer.phar/src/Composer/DependencyResolver/Solver.php on line 220

Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 1690828800) (tried to allocate 268435456 bytes) in phar://C:/.../composer.phar/src/Composer/DependencyResolver/Solver.php on line 220

I tried to raise the memory limit in php.ini and started a whole new project with fresh composer. I should have enough memory on my machine.

Update:

When encountering this problem, also bear in mind that if you change parameters in your PHP.ini, that you've to change them for your PHP CLI. I often forgot that and just changed the php.ini for the version my apache is using...

How you test Memory_limit ?

did you restart Apache?

please do the following steps:

with Xampp in Windows 10

just search this phrase: memory_limit

;memory_limit=512M

by commenting this configuration, in php.ini to:

memory_limit =-1

then restart the Apache by xampp

enter image description here

the result is:

; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume
; http://php.net/memory-limit
memory_limit =-1
;memory_limit=512M

Updating to version 1.10.10 (stable channel).
Downloading (100%)

Use composer self-update --rollback to return to version 1.10.7

Run COMPOSER_MEMORY_LIMIT=-1 composer install instead of composer install. It worked for me.
