Fixes #775
Description of Changes
I ran into the issue of not being able to build the repository for testing a few days back for which I myself added this issue to the issue board.
I tried to fix this issue on my own and realized that it was a nodejs issue. v8 engine by default has a cap of 2 GB which was overflowing and I added the NODE_OPTIONS to increase the assigned memory for that particular subprocess.
Type of Change
Testing

I initially ran the build process which lead to it being failed.
After checking the nodejs memory usage the issue was apparent and I went on to globally set the memory assigned to nodejs 4gb which fixed the issue.
After setting the environment variable there is a layer of abstraction that a new contributor doesn`t have to face to contribute.
