python - pip install - killed

Question

I'm trying to install package with pip on Ubuntu server:

$ pip install MySQLdb
Downloading/unpacking MySQLdb
Killed

And it's getting killed. There is enough free RAM on server. Why it is killed?

UPD Logs:

Out of memory: Kill process 6627 (pip) score 297 or sacrifice child

Thats strange, because I have about 150 mb free RAM.

Answer 1

If you are running low on memory you could try with pip install package --no-cache-dir
