Better error handling when system runs out of memory

Trying to run ghost install --no-setup I got this error:

$ ghost install --no-setup $ cat ghost-cli-debug-xxx.log

Debug Information:
    Node Version: v6.10.3
    Ghost-CLI Version: 1.0.0-alpha.16
    Environment: production
    Command: 'ghost install --no-setup'
An error occurred.
Message: 'Command failed: yarn install --no-emoji --no-progress

Stack: Error: Command failed: yarn install --no-emoji --no-progress

Not sure what caused this?

Trying to run the installer again results in:

$ ghost install --no-setup

A SystemError occured.

Message: Current directory is not empty, Ghost cannot be installed here.

Debug Information:
    Node Version: v6.10.3

I understand why this is, but it’s not very helpful 😁 - if the installer fails, I should be able to try again I think?

First issue is something I want to get to the bottom of, clean re-installs is something for later.

@acburdine Thank you. Look like my system was running out of memory. I will try again after I upgrade the vps .

update : It can be successfully installed after I configured the swap. thanks

dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/swap bs=1k count=1024k mkswap /var/swap swapon /var/swap echo ‘/var/swap swap swap default 0 0’ >> /etc/fstab

Definitely an out of memory exception (Ubuntu 16.04.2 with node 6.11.1 installing Ghost 1 RC); I have 512M on a droplet – adding a 1G swap file fixed it.
