Hi all. I’m getting problems with tutor-dev installations(Quince and Palm). I installed tutor-local to try it, but it installed without any problems. But I get these errors when installing tutor-dev. I tried a few methods from stackoverflow but they didn’t help( git config http.postBuffer 524288000).
What can I do?

Hi, are you getting this repeatedly? I got it once when trying to upgrade from Palm to Quince. But it went away when I re-ran the tutor dev launch. The error is git related mainly, not getting enough memory during the cloning process.

Yes, I get this error every time when I install. Actually, I did not receive such an error with tutor local launch Whenever I use tutor dev launch I get this error.

Right. On some Stackoverflow links, it has been mentioned that this is due to network issues (specific wifi card, high latency networks). On my system, as I mentioned above, I only received this once and did not see it when I retried it. The error logs also suggest that the clone is failing midway which can be attributed to the network. Overall, judging from stackoverflow, many people facing this had different sets of root causes. Network seems to be a bit too common among a few.

Yes, i tried installing it on a different network over the weekend and it installed without any problems. However, I have no idea why there is a problem with my network because I have setup with tutor before without any problems. Thank you for your help

If anyone else is facing this issue, they can follow the troubleshooting guide in Tutor docs. You should set the max-parallelism = 1 so that edx-platform is not sharing the network with another build step.
