It's a bit of a 'deja vu' -- while I don't have VMs that small (I just use Docker, being on Linux) I answered that same question a few times at StackOverflow etc.
That said, do look into r2u. It's honestly rather good (and I switched all my CI etc to it).
a) That is an out-of-memory error because your VM is too small for C++ compilation
b) solution one: do not compile: sudo apt install r-cran-lme4
c) solution two, much better: look into r2u:

Thrilled to be speaking about #r2u to the #YEGRUG. This should also leave time for demos of the (simple!) setup and its use. I will present remotely (as I have attended remotely) so feel free to join the group. #rstats
More about #r2u as always at eddelbuettel.github.io/r2u/
And I am happy to announce that @eddelbuettel will present r2u at the October #YEGRUG

Yes, look into 'Repository Secrets' in the GitHub Actions documentation. It's pretty straightforward -- for example I use one here and pass it to an environment variable.

Most sincere gratulations -- this was well earned as it is a genuinely excellent and brilliant piece of work you (and the rest of the team) did there. Thanks again as well for stepping by and telling my STAT 447 students about this and other work: youtube.com/watch?v=1TgEl5OZ…
Just won the Future of Media award! Very happy to accept the award for data journalism together with @AlexSelbyB for "The pandemic's true death toll"

Big #r2u news: a mirror! Announced during the @ChicagoRusers talk I just gave.
Use r2u.stat.illinois.edu/ubuntu… and take advantage of Intenet2 speeds, and campus reliability to bring your CRAN Ubuntu binaries to #RStats for @Ubuntu. #r2u documentation will be updated tomorrow.

An _abstraction_ that unfies access to file, or network, system command, or ... You think about _having a connection_, then read data (txt, csv, ...) from it. How to use a particular connection varies.
> con <- pipe("ls -1 /etc/R")
> etcfile <- readLines(con)
> close(con)

`dang::isConnected()` is one. To not create a one-function dependency I copied the function into `tint` too.

The `r2u` talk is happening in three days in Chicago at the R User Group meeting. Updated #r2u download chart below as a tease. Not yet 'billions and billions served' but hey 400k aint too shabby for four months. Details at eddelbuettel.github.io/r2u/
Delighted to talk about `r2u` next Thursday at the Chicago R Users Group. As a teaser, the cumulative downloads of Ubuntu focal or jammy binaries. `r2u` covers all of CRAN, with full dependencies.
See eddelbuettel.github.io/r2u/ for more on this new #Rstats tool.

It's not simple as managing toolchains, libraries, versions, ... consistently is difficult.
My suggestion: remove that layer, offer fully integrated binaries where we can -- see eddelbuettel.github.io/r2u/ and its demo and try it (via the gitpod link or docker) #rstats #r2u
