Issue running meshary on my local machine

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to contribute to an issue in the Meshery UI and set up Meshery locally for frontend development.

My environment:

  • Linux

  • 8 GB RAM

  • 4 GB swap

  • 16 CPU threads

  • Node v16

Whenever I run:

make ui-setup
make ui-build
or
make ui-server

VS Code crashes with:

“The window terminated unexpectedly (reason: ‘clean-exit’, code: ‘0’)”

I already increased the Linux inotify watcher limit after getting the ENOSPC warning, but the issue persists.

Has anyone encountered VS Code crashing specifically while building Meshery UI? Is there a recommended Node version, memory setting, or workflow for contributors with 8 GB RAM?

Hello @ishaan1

Welcome to the community!

A little late but no, it seems to work fine on VS Code. Although your OS is Linux and someone with a similar setup as yours can only confirm. The node version is also old, use Node 22.

What distribution of Linux?
