I'm getting an allowed memory size error when trying to install this module using "drush composer-manager update --no-dev". Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks

That is a PHP problem with not enough memory available to use. Drupal and Drush require a lot of memory to be available.

Thanks, actually it was that more memory needs to be available for command-line PHP, not necessarily for the PHP that Drupal/webserver use. Composer is a pain, very difficult to troubleshoot when it isn't working right.

Gotcha. Yes, Drush requires a lot of extra memory. See I am a Composer fan :-D

You can use a module to control this memory limit as well. PHP Runtime Configurator module provides many options to configure without changing your php.ini file and restart Apache.
You can configure following parameters:

- File Upload Limit
- Memory Limit
- Maximum Execution Time Limit
- Maximum Input Variable Limit

I feel like composer should not require so much memory to download and install a module.
