 +==== Add SWAP ====
 +**Create SWAP file:**
 +<code bash>sudo fallocate -l 4G /swapfile</code>
 +→ Change 4G to the size of the swap space.
 + 
 +**Change permissions and format file:**
 +<code bash>sudo chmod 600 /swapfile</code>
 +<code bash>sudo mkswap /swapfile</code>
 +
 +**Enable SWAP and verify:**
 +<code bash>sudo swapon /swapfile</code>
 +<code bash>sudo swapon --show</code>
 +
 +**Make swap permanent by adding the following line to ''/etc/fstab'':**
 +<code bash>/swapfile none swap sw 0 0</code>
 +
 +To change the swappiness look at the upper paragraph.
