I am not familiar with that tool, so use at your own peril.
These days, a lot of systems use free ram as a file cache. Applications that require a given amount of ram should not assume that it is not available just because "free" is low. They should just go ahead and attempt the allocation. Besides, due to the race condition that exists between the time of the check and when the allocation occurs, an interval during which available memory can diminish, a well-coded program will still need to handle an allocation failure.

install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system
SYNOPSIS
install-solaris
install-solaris invokes the Solaris Install program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.
The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:
For SPARC machines:
128 MB
Minimum physical memory for all installation types
128 MB
Minimum physical memory required for windowing system
384 MB
Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation
For x86 machines:
256 MB
Minimum physical memory for all installation types
256 MB
Minimum physical memory required for windowing system
512 MB
Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation
In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number of fea-
tures available.
install-solaris exists only on the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the for more
details.
install-solaris allows installation of the operating system onto any standalone system. install-solaris loads the software available on the
