Ghost install fails with memory availability, but there's plenty

You can skip the check with --no-check-mem.

The code lives here if you’d like to propose an improvement to how memory is determined:

TryGhost/Ghost-CLI/blob/276d5c4713f9a195df307575e769201ab9157476/lib/commands/doctor/checks/check-memory.js

'use strict';
const sysinfo = require('systeminformation');
const SystemError = require('../../../errors').SystemError;

const MB_IN_BYTES = 1048576;
const MIN_MEMORY = 150;

function checkMemory() {
    return sysinfo.mem().then((memoryInfo) => {
        const availableMemory = memoryInfo.available / MB_IN_BYTES;

        if (availableMemory < MIN_MEMORY) {
            return Promise.reject(new SystemError(`You are recommended to have at least ${MIN_MEMORY} MB of memory available for smooth operation. It looks like you have ~${parseInt(availableMemory)} MB available.`));
        }
        return Promise.resolve();
    });
}

module.exports = {
    title: 'Checking memory availability',
