Hello. I wanted to install the plugin, but after /rebuild app I got an out of memory error.  
I added disk space, rebooted the server and repeated /rebuild app, but this time I don’t understand what the problem is:

```plaintext

Could you provide a few more lines above that? The error seems cut off by a couple lines.

Forget. The problem was with the plugin I wanted to install: [GitHub - Gonerdot/hello\_plugin · GitHub](https://github.com/Gonerdot/hello_plugin)  
I wrote a simple plugin using ChatGPT, since I don’t understand ruby ​​myself, but apparently something is wrong.

I don’t know ruby, but that almost looks like it’d be better as a #Customization > Theme component instead of a #Customization > Plugin.

Yes. It can be a theme component. You need a plugin only to change stuff on the Ruby side of things. Have a look at the [Theme Developer Quick Reference Guide](https://meta.discourse.org/t/theme-developer-quick-reference-guide/110448) and the get started one.
