How can I reduce the RAM usage of compilation from source via python setup.py install
command? It automatically spawns many threads and I don’t want that!
Try to set the MAX_JOBS
argument to your desired max. number of jobs.
Is that a shell variable?
export MAX_JOBS=2
?
Yes. You could also set it in front of the install command: MAX_JOBS=2 python setup.py install
.
