npm install killed without a good error
<p>When I run</p>

<pre><code>ng new new-app
</code></pre>

<p>to create an angular2 app, angular-cli creates the files and runs</p>

<pre><code>npm install
</code></pre>

<p><strong>The npm install is then killed without any error message.</strong> Almost all answers online pointed to a possible problem with running out of memory, so I upgraded my VPS from 512MB to 1GB of RAM.</p>

<p>It seems unlikely to me that a fresh Ubuntu 16.04 with 1GB RAM cannot npm install a standard angular2 app. <strong>Is there anything else I can try other than adding swap or ram?</strong> </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
