`expo-updates` fails to install

Hello,

I’m trying to add expo-updates to an existing (non-Expo) React Native project.

As per the documentation, I first run

npx install-expo-modules

to add the base expo module and make the required changes to the project setup. This runs successfully. I then try to run

yarn add -E expo-updates

but this fails with

FATAL ERROR: Ineffective mark-compacts near heap limit Allocation failed - JavaScript heap out of memory

Googling the error, the solution seemed to be to increase the max memory of Node, which I tried:

export NODE_OPTIONS="--max_old_space_size=8192"

and verified using

node -e 'console.log(v8.getHeapStatistics().heap_size_limit/(1024*1024))'

which prints 8240

This is a lot more than the default setting, and should be enough to install a node package.

I’ve also tried with multiple node versions, 14.15.4, 14.19.0, 16.13.2, 17.5.0 but none of them works.

I also had a colleague try, and he had the same issue. We can install other packages just fine.

Any pointers/help would be much appreciated.
