# Swap
Simple swap setup script for Linux
Swap is an area on a hard drive that has been designated as a place where the operating system can temporarily store data that it can no longer hold in RAM.
Disclamer: This script may not work on every GNU/Linux distro. Sorry.
## Usage
First of all, download the main script using `wget` or `curl`:
```
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Cretezy/Swap/master/swap.sh -O swap
# or using curl:
# curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Cretezy/Swap/master/swap.sh -o swap
```
Then simply run the file with this format:
```
sh swap
```
Example (with 4G):
```
sh swap 4G
```
The default path for the swap file is /swapfile. If you wish to change this, simple the file location (file must not exist) add it to the command:
```
sh swap 4G /swap
```
