### Memory
You need at least 2GB of addressable memory (RAM + swap) to install and use GitLab!
With less memory GitLab will give strange errors during the reconfigure run and 500 errors during usage.
The operating system and any other running applications will also be using memory
so keep in mind that you need at least 2GB available before running GitLab. With
less memory GitLab will give strange errors during the reconfigure run and 500
errors during usage.
- 512MB RAM + 1.5GB of swap is the absolute minimum but we strongly **advise against** this amount of memory. See the unicorn worker section below for more advice.
