FATAL ERROR: Ineffective mark-compacts near heap limit Allocation failed - JavaScript heap out of memory

[adamnik101]

All I did was npm install --save @ckeditor/ckeditor5-angular, imported it in shared.module.ts

import { CKEditorModule } from '@ckeditor/ckeditor5-angular';

And after typing ng serve i get this error message after it finishes sealing...

Also RAM usage spikes up to 4 gigs more than usual...

What could be the cause of this error message? I have tried deleting node_modules folder and package-lock.json file, but nothing...

Haven't seen this for a while, the best workaround would be to increase the memory for node:

export NODE_OPTIONS="--max-old-space-size=4096"

or 

node --max_old_space_size=4096

After deleting node_modules and package-lock.json and installing the package i get the same error after ng serve is done sealing.. Does this package depends on some other package?
