Getting this error on "composer require drupal/module-name". I want to install a module on my drupal site but it always returns me this error.

VirtualAlloc() failed: [0x00000008] Not enough memory resources are available to process this command.


VirtualFree() failed: [0x000001e7] Attempt to access invalid address.

Update on your php.ini file's: memory_limit= XXXM

Replace XXXM value by the memory that you wanna allocate.

Or replace XXXM by -1 to negate memory limit condition.
