NodeJS - How do I increase the memory heap size?

I want to increase the memory heap size, but every time I try to do that it fails. I tried to install the package npm i increase-memory-limit but it doesn't do anything. I did run the command increase-memory-limit after installing it, but I still get the same crashes as before.

Currently I'm writing my NodeJS code in the PyCharm IDE on a Windows 10, if that helps.

Edit:

When starting node server, check script that is running it should be something like node index.js or something like that.

Not so sure how it is in PyCharm when you run node But what can help you is option --max-old-space-size

So, I would suggest to try with command like

node --max-old-space-size=8192 index.js
