EC2 GRPC install hangs after 12 hours still no install

Question

I'm pretty sure it's because I am using t2.nano and not something a little more beefy.

But I have used laravel forge to provision an ec2 server, I can't deploy my application however because I need to install GRPC.

I have followed these instructions: https://cloud.google.com/php/grpc#using-pecl

And when I run: sudo pecl install grpc it runs for around 10 mins and then just gets stuck.

Seems to be running the same thing over and over again, can't quite workout the full stack trace or more importantly where it begins, but I'll post below.

If there are any logs I can grab please drop the command in to tail or cat and I'll attach them to the question!

Having a beefier machine will help since the process takes quite some time.

If the installation doesn't get stuck, it might look like it's looping through the same command but that's not the case. At present, the process is slow, and if you have a chance, leave it running.
