Failed: install bower dependencies
Problem
While installing Open edX, the installation failed on the bower dependencies:
TASK [insights : install bower dependencies] ***********************************
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": true, "cmd": ". /edx/app/insights/venvs/insights/bin/activate && . /edx/app/insights/nodeenvs/insights/bin/activate && /edx/app/insights/edx_analytics_dashboard/node_modules/.bin/bower instal
The "fatal" line is very long, but includes this stderr output:

Solution
This failure happens when you try to install on too small a machine. Check the installation instructions for the required amount of RAM, and be sure you have enough.
