You're right. Chromium does require more than 3G of RAM to build. |
| 23 |
Here are the current system requirements for building Chromium on Linux: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
System requirements |
| 26 |
A 64-bit Intel machine with at least 8GB of RAM. More than 16GB is |
| 27 |
highly recommended. |
| 28 |
At least 100GB of free disk space. |
| 29 |
You must have Git and Python v2 installed already. |
