composer_error_memory_exhausted.md

This happens when trying to install a new dependency and there is not enough memory, so you can raise the memory (in this case to 3GB) temporarily using :

php -d memory_limit=3G C:\ProgramData\ComposerSetup\bin\composer.phar require  excelwebzone/r

Check the actual memory limit with:

php -r "echo ini_get('memory_limit').PHP_EOL;"
