You will also need at least 1GB of RAM, and 2GB or greater is recommended. You may be able to reduce crawl-time RAM pressure if you disable all the chrome-based archiving methods with [`CHROME_ENABLED=False`](https://archivebox.github.io/abx-plugins/#chrome) (or its `USE_CHROME` alias).
**Memory:** 1GB of RAM minimum; 2GB or more is recommended. On a 1GB host, configure at least 4GB of swap before running full default crawls. You can reduce crawl-time memory pressure by disabling all Chrome-based archiving methods with [`CHROME_ENABLED=False`](https://archivebox.github.io/abx-plugins/#chrome) (or its `USE_CHROME` alias).
