Memory needed to build and run steem

[lidinghi]

I tried to build steemit/steem on Ubuntu inside a virtual machine on my Windows computer.
I assigned 500G space and 12G memory to the virtual machine/Ubuntu.

However, I constantly got the c++: internal compiler error: killed (program cc1plus) error when building steemit/steem (docker build -t=steemit/steem .). The same error showed up when I attempted to build steemit/steem on my Mac.

I learned that this error is often due to "not enough memory" for docker and in Linux the memory for docker is bounded by the hardware.

I wonder what are the hardware requirements for building and running steemit/steem? I plan to purchase another 16G RAM for my computer. Will additional ~10G memory help?

Or this error actually caused by problems other than memory?
