Failed to clone drupal/core

I was getting the following error when trying to run composer install:

 Failed to clone https://github.com/drupal/core.git via https, ssh protocols, aborting.

  - https://github.com/drupal/core.git
    Cloning into 'web/core'...
    done.
    error: pack-objects died of signal 9
    fatal: cannot repack to clean up

Solution: Increase the memory on the server hosting your website. The nano EC2 I was using to save money while setting up the environment simply wouldn't cut it (micro was fine).
