You SHOULD be able to install it. I wonder if the default installation wants to create a large swap file nearly equal to the size of your physical memory. If that is what is causing the need for more disk space, a workaround could be to manually create a swap partition and set it as a specific size. Instead of using the default settings, which probably puts everything in a root (ie. /) partition, create a root partition, yourself, and a swap partition. Maybe allow your swap partition to be 2 GB in size or even much less.
In the upper left of the image below, you can see that my Swp file is only 1.61MB, but the operating system has allotted 9.67GB for swap. Seems like a waste, but my storage is hundreds of gigabytes in size, so not a big deal in my case. Since you only have 16GB total to work with, tell the installation what to do. Make your own swap partition and limit it's size. I think if you do that, the rest of the installation will be okay.
