Trying to install via composer gives me the following...

user@host [~]# composer require drupal/backup_db
Using version ^1.0 for drupal/backup_db
./composer.json has been updated
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
Killed
user@host [~]#

I'm assuming that composer has run out of memory. I've tried allocating up to 4GB but to no avail.

alias composer="php -d memory_limit=4096M -d allow_url_fopen=1 -d detect_unicode=0 ~/bin/composer.phar"

Any other suggestions? Unfortunately, it's shared hosting. so my options are limited...

Never encountered that error before sorry :S, 'killed' is sadly undescriptive - is there a verbose mode for composer? Shared hosting has never been friendly to me with devops.

I got the same error, my shared host informed me that the install command should have run but it exceeds the RAM allocation.
