I am folowing steps mentioned here :

For a production guide see: [Install Discourse in production with the official supported instructions](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-install-discourse-in-production/142537) So you want to set up Discourse on Ubuntu or Debian to hack on and develop with?

Try:
`RAILS_ENV=development bundle exec rails server --binding=0.0.0.0`

```
free -h

What are the minimum system requirements for discourse setup?

1GB of RAM with SWAP, I think you need at least 2GB of SWAP.

That’s true for a docker install, but a development install will likely need more than that.
Do you need a development setup?
You might try [Install Discourse for development using Docker](https://meta.discourse.org/t/beginners-guide-to-install-discourse-for-development-using-docker/102009), but if you want to do development you’ll likely want at least 4gb.

I’ve run development environments off the DO $5 droplet and they work just fine. Not fast but not unbearable either. CPU speed is probably more important.
@Vishal_Kaushik do you have anything else running on this server? And is it a cloud server or something local?

I asked my devops guy to create a new instance with better specs and it worked fine on it. Thank you all for the help.
