But as it stands now, Discourse won’t let me even install by default, strictly saying I must have not less than 1 Gig RAM.

Of course, as indicated earlier in this thread, there’s a workaround, but at least the warning should offer a link to somewhere explaining how someone could still install with less specs, however declaring all the warnings.
