Hello, I'm working on a project requiring fbprophet (https://github.com/facebook/prophet) and they state in their docs that

If you are using a VM, be aware that you will need at least 4GB of memory to install fbprophet, and at least 2GB of memory to use fbprophet.

I also read on pythonanywhere that machines are limited to 3GB max since it is a scarce resource (https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/RAMLimit/).

Does this mean I can't install / use fbprophet no matter the account tier?

In contrast it seems this user successfully installed in this thread: https://www.pythonanywhere.com/forums/topic/14831/.

Appreciate any help!

To be honest, it's probably best to just try to install it and see! It may be that the 4GiB requirement is a worst-case scenario, and normally it can install without using so much RAM.

Got it. The actual issue I ran into initially was disk space size. So in the first place I'll try upgrading one tier and see if it gets past the disk space, then memory errors. Thanks!
