[monkibraum]

Describe the bug
Hi, I'm installing strapi of the latest version in my AWS light sail instance, but during the installation of strapi@beta, the process is just killed without any clue. I have already installed beta version in one of my EC2 instance, but no luck with light sail.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. go to AWS light sail console and create Ubuntu 18.04 (Os-only) free instance.
2. install nvm

   sudo apt update
   curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.34.0/install.sh | bash
   nvm install 10.15.3

3.npm install -g strapi@beta

1. the installing process is killed

@monkibraum - The RAM (512) in the free version of AWS Light Sail is insufficient to build the Admin Panel for Strapi. This is a known issue that is being addressed. If you wish to use Light Sail, you can temporarily upgrade to the $10 a month (2G RAM), build Strapi the first time, and then downgrade back to the free plan.

Please see https://strapi.io/documentation/3.0.0-beta.x/guides/deployment.html#amazon-aws - it's mentioned in the AWS EC2 deployment guide.

You can create a swap file to build the admin panel
