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.
