There are also reports that *uninstalling* Watchman fixes the issue. So if nothing else helps, remove it from your system and try again.
### `npm run build` silently fails
### `npm run build` exits too early
It is reported that `npm run build` can fail on machines with no swap space, which is common in cloud environments. If [the symptoms are matching](https://github.com/facebookincubator/create-react-app/issues/1133#issuecomment-264612171), consider adding some swap space to the machine youre building on, or build the project locally.
It is reported that `npm run build` can fail on machines with limited memory and no swap space, which is common in cloud environments. Even with small projects this command can increase RAM usage in your system by hundreds of megabytes, so if you have less than 1 GB of available memory your build is likely to fail with the following message:
> The build failed because the process exited too early. This probably means the system ran out of memory or someone called `kill -9` on the process.
If you are completely sure that you didn't terminate the process, consider [adding some swap space](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-add-swap-on-ubuntu-14-04) to the machine youre building on, or build the project locally.
