I'm pretty sure it's because I am using t2.nano and not something a little more beefy.

But I have used laravel forge to provision an ec2 server, I can't deploy my application however because I need to install GRPC.

I have followed these instructions: https://cloud.google.com/php/grpc#using-pecl

And when I run: sudo pecl install grpc it runs for around 10 mins and then just gets stuck.

Seems to be running the same thing over and over again, can't quite workout the full stack trace or more importantly where it begins, but I'll post below.

If there are any logs I can grab please drop the command in to tail or cat and I'll attach them to the question!

Having a beefier machine will help since the process takes quite some time.

If the installation doesn't get stuck, it might look like it's looping through the same command but that's not the case. At present, the process is slow, and if you have a chance, leave it running.

I had a similar situation with a 1G VPS (droplet) on digital ocean running Ubuntu. The install got stuck multiple times. I sshed using a different terminal. htop command showed that CPU and RAM were maxed out.

Rather than increase the size of the droplet though, what I did was create and enable a swapfile. This allowed me to complete the install albeit slowly.

You can create a swap file like so:

sudo swapon --show #this will have no output if you do not have a swap file configured

sudo fallocate -l 1G /swapfile #provisions 1G of swap space sudo chmod 600 /swapfile #set the appropriate permission sudo mkswap /swapfile #makes the swap space useable as swap file sudo swapon /swapfile #enables the swap file

sudo swapon --show #details of your configured swap file will now be displayed.

Cheers
