Deploying a Sails.js app to dokku-alt? Buildpack error

When deploying Sails.js to dokku-alt on DigitalOcean, I get the following error. It seems to be failing when installing Sails.js, but I couldn't find any information on this error message. I would appreciate insight on what this error message means and how to resolve this issue. Thanks for the help!

Terminal

       You can also try reverting to our legacy Node.js buildpack:

The problem was actually running out of memory on my VPS. The solution was to simply add a swap partition.

A detailed guide on how to add a swap partition can be found here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-add-swap-on-ubuntu-14-04
