## Increasing VM Resources
If you find that the VM is running slowly, you can increase the resources allocated to it. By default the VM is allocated 2GB of RAM and 2 CPUs. You can increase these values by setting the `VM_MEMORY` and `VM_CPUS` environment variables before running `vagrant up`. For example, to allocate 4GB of RAM and 4 CPUs, you can run:
```sh
export VM_MEMORY=4096
export VM_CPUS=4
vagrant up
```
If your system has 8GB of RAM it is recommended to set `VM_MEMORY` to 4096 (4GB) and `VM_CPUS` to 2 or 4. If your system has more RAM, you can increase these values further, but be careful not to allocate too much RAM as it may cause your host system to become unresponsive.
