Configuring ESA SNAP for Python not working due to memore issue

Question

I want to use ESA's SNAP Toolbox in Python and have done the following steps:

• Created a new python virtualenv called snap with Python 3.11.7
• Downloaded the latest SNAP release from https://step.esa.int/main/download/snap-download/
• Installed SNAP by executing the bash script with sh esa-snap_sentinel_unix_9_0_0.sh

I am now trying to configure SNAP for Python, following instructions in these tutorials:

• Configure Python to use the SNAP-Python (snappy) interface (SNAP versions <= 9)
• Getting Started with SNAP Toolbox in Python

I keep encountering an error that I have not seen elsewhere yet

cd to_snap_installation/snap/bin
snappy-config path_to_venvs/virtualenvs/snap/python.exe

Gives the following error

/mnt/eo-nas1/eoa-share/projects/010_CropCovEO/snap/bin/../platform/lib/nbexec: WARNING: environment variable DISPLAY is not set
Error occured during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for 369098752KB object heap

I have already tried to set the DISPLAY variable in my environment. Does anyone know how to solve this?
