**Your software** My Mautic version is: 5.0.3 My PHP version is: 8.1.27 My Database type and version is: MariaDB 10.5.22 **Your problem** My problem is: When I try to install with composer `composer create-project mautic/recommended-project:^5 mautic_project` I get an “out of memory” error, but I would assume that 1.5GB is enough (which seems to be assumed by composer as default limit, see [Troubleshooting - Composer](https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/troubleshooting.md#memory-limit-errors) ) ```auto Creating a "mautic/recommended-project:^5" project at "./mautic_project" Installing mautic/recommended-project (5.0.3) - Installing mautic/recommended-project (5.0.3): Extracting archive Created project in /home/.sites/site8/wwwroot/mautic_project Loading composer repositories with package information Updating dependencies Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 1610612736 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 4096 bytes) in phar:///home/solarspeed/php-8.1/bin/composer81/src/Composer/DependencyResolver/RuleSetGenerator.php on line 117 Check https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/troubleshooting.md#memory-limit-errors for more info on how to handle out of memory errors. ``` Is there really more memory needed? or is there a memory-leak somewhere? I did not see any requirement on this in the docs at [Requirements - Mautic Community](https://www.mautic.org/download/requirements)
