Hi there! A quick scan shows me "out of memory" error. How much free RAM do you have when you start this command?

[MomboteQ]

1gb

[sisou]

I just ran it on my machine and it used a max of 12% of my 15GB, so that's 1.8GB. So I'd say you need at least 2 GB free RAM to run the main build command, which builds everything in parallel.

You can choose to only build certain tasks, by running yarn gulp <task name>, where <task name> can be any of the tasks defined in the gulpfile, e.g. build-web to only build browser files:
