I am using php7 2 and the size is set to memory limit   512M by default  to increase the size  you need to locate php ini   In Wamp  it is located in C  wamp64 bin php php7 2 23 php ini  Please watch out for the PHP version as it is the name folder  in my case I have php7 2 23  In Laragon  it is located in C  laragon bin php php-7 2 23-Win32-VC15-x64 php ini as was in my case   If you don t want to allow unlimited space  you can set whatever size that is convenient to you  in my case I did memory limit   2G  if you want to allow unlimited space  you can change to memory limit   -1

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

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
