From author repo I've got no answer..

[posva]

The problem comes from that repo not from here, you cannot just open an issue here because you didn't get an answer there...
If you find out where the problem specifically comes or even better find the solution, please open a new issue with a boiled down repro (no opencv)

[chiboreache]

@posva
The problem is due to the huge size of the package, so you better know how to increase the memory limit

---

there is a strict standard limit for the memory usage in V8 of around 1.7 GB, if you do not increase it manually.

node --max-old-space-size=4096 yourFile.js

how to do it in vue-cli ?

DONE

just one line with the key

NODE_OPTIONS=--max_old_space_size=4096 npm run build
