Make sure to not require a package before making sure the vendor folder exists   Check if you have done composer install before  You may be just cloned the repository to your machine  So  you have to install the old packages before requiring a new one  Or you may want to include this option --profile to your composer command to see the timing and memory usage information

It was recently identified that Composer consumes high CPU   memory on packages that have a lot of historical tags  See composer composer 7577  A workaround to this problem is using symfony flex or https   github com rubenrua symfony-clean-tags-composer-plugin  composer global require rubenrua symfony-clean-tags-composer-plugin

You can use a specific php Version when running Composer   If  like me  for some reason  you are using PHP 32 bits even though your computer is 64 bits  this will always limit the amount of memory allocated to Composer  I solved my problem this way    Install a 64 bits php version somewhere on your computer  let s say in C  php64  In composer  using cygwin in my case   run    COMPOSER MEMORY LIMIT -1 C  php64 php exe    composer phar update

Here is another way to solve this problem under windows  if you use Wampserver  Indeed at the level of wampserver  there are two php ini files  that of PHP  which one can find in the location C    wamp64   bin   php   phpx xx   php ini and that of Apache   which can be found at location C    wamp64   bin   apache   apachex xx   bin   php ini  Both of these files have the memory limit parameter  So to be sure to solve this problem  it is better to set the memory limit   -1 parameter in both files at once
