## QEMU exited from an error: qemu-system: cannot set up guest memory 'pc.ram': Cannot allocate memory

**Reason:** The amount of RAM set is too large for your system to run it.

**Solution:** Try to turn down the amount of RAM you allocated to your VM.

{% hint style="info" %}
On a Mac system, you can click the Apple logo in the top right, then About this computer, and see how much RAM your computer has. It is reccomended to use at least half your system's RAM, and more if possible.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
On an iOS/iPadOS device, you may not use more than half it's RAM or else iOS will kill UTM. To find out how much RAM you device has, you can search it up on your favourite search engine. (example: "iPad Pro 11" 3rd generation RAM")
