# This moves stuff in swap to the main memory and might take several minutes
sudo swapoff -a
# Create an empty swapfile
# Note that "1G" is basically just the unit and count is an integer.
# Together, they define the size. In this case 8GB.

# Set the correct permissions
sudo chmod 0600 /swapfile
sudo mkswap /swapfile # Set up a Linux swap area
