Issue when switching to Production mode in Magento 2

When trying to switch from Developer mode to Production mode:-
php bin/magento deploy:mode:set production

You may see this error:-
Command returned non-zero exit code:

The error is most likely related to the PHP memory_limit. 

Make sure you set it to at least 768M and it should work. 

If it still doesn't work for you, you can always skip Compilation and do it later:-
php bin/magento deploy:mode:set production --skip-compilation
