Hello!

I have also faced the same issue. I've ran $ export NODE_OPTIONS="--max-old-space-size=8192", as is shown in the README.
This, however, just leads to the program running out of memory later in the process. Although, it maybe could work for you?

I also tried to increase the memory with set NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=8192 but it didn't help

I also tried to increase the memory with set NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=8192 but it didn't help

I was able to get it to compile by setting this option on my machine.
