Hi there,  
very exited to switch to Mautic i rented a vps, installed an ubuntu image and now i have problems installing mautic.

abter a lot of steps i was able to run a “php8.1 /usr/bin/composer install”

It leads to an error:

By a quick Google search it looks like the code 137 is caused by hitting the memory limit. One of the first Google links:
