“Installation of module node-red-dashboard failed:” error

I'm new to Node-red and cloud.ibm.com. I'm using the lite version of the service with an academic account. In the manage palette side bar, I searched for node-red-dashboard, clicked install and waited for a while until I got the error "Installation of module node-red-dashboard failed:". I also got three strings after the error ""------------------------------------------", "", and "------------------------------------------" (those characters appear as dashes). Where should I start looking to fix this? Thank you!

Please elaborate it - Saikat Saha
What other information would be helpful? I'm also using the option where the ibm cloud hosts the git repository for my instance of node red. - R.Bert
The output from the Node-RED Application log (found on the IBM cloud application page) from the time of the failure would be most useful. The work around is probably to add dashboard-ui as a dependency in the package.json and restage the app. - hardillb

I just attempted to recreate and got an error with the installation when my CF application did not have enough memory. However, when I upped the memory in my application, it worked fine.

installation success

I recommend following this tutorial on IBM Developer which explains the recommended steps to install the node-red-dashboard in addition to adding extra nodes to your Node-RED palette. It also explains how to deploy the application with 256MB memory.
