I tried installing and got an error because my host environment only alows a value of 96M for php memory_limit.
I have no way to change that value.
Is there any way to install kickstarter within this restraint?
Perhaps when you trim it down to the bare minimum of functionality...
I would say, get a host with more memory it will cost you a few dollars a month but saves you days of frustration.
When you are just trying things out to see if drupal commerce is something for you, install it on your local machine.
If you want to run a functional shop, you should invest into a professional hosting.
Until then, you can run it localy.
