Hi @tamoghna-dey, it appears you may be running into a memory issue. To solve, you can increase the amount of swap space.

• Assuming you are running on a Unix-based system, you can follow along with this 5 minute video to solve
• Or you can skim this article to quickly find all the commands needed

After you give this a try, let me know if it helps to solve your problem!

I tried following the article, and it did show that the space is increased to 8gb but when i try to run the command for generating pdf again, it still shows the same error

@tamoghna-dey did you find any way to solve this?

[tamoghna-dey]

Not yet, swapping the space didn't worked out and it still shows the same error

Guys, how long should I wait for this Latex to download?
Seems like it can take forever

I followed these

Non-interactive default installation on anything but Windows:

cd /tmp # working directory of your choice
Download: wget https://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/install-tl-unx.tar.gz
           or: curl -L -o install-tl-unx.tar.gz https://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/install-tl-unx.tar.gz
(or via whatever other method you like)
zcat < install-tl-unx.tar.gz | tar xf -
cd install-tl-*
perl ./install-tl --no-interaction # as root or with [writable destination](https://www.tug.org/texlive/quickinstall.html#running)
Finally, prepend /usr/local/texlive/YYYY/bin/PLATFORM to your PATH,
e.g., /usr/local/texlive/2024/bin/x86_64-linux

Hey @tamoghna-dey, It took me around 5 hours to download the Latex gigantic file successfully because my internet connection was slow. So it can take a long time if your internet connection isn't fast.
