# 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

```
