Allocation failed - process out of memory while npm install

I have installed nodejs and npm in my aws server and there were no issues. But when I tried to install bower, I got a memory allocation error. I was able to fix it by disabling the progress bar by 

sudo npm set progress=false

But i'm getting

Allocation failed - process out of memory error

on npm install. I tried npm cache clean, but the same error exists.

The issue here appears to be pretty self explanatory, Node is running out of memory. I have previously ran into this issue on a machine with only 600MB of ram, I'd suggest increasing the instance size to something with over 1GB of RAM and trying again.
