Description

This package provides a command-line interface to add swap space to a Linux system.

It prompts the user for the desired swap size in GB and then adds the swap space using the dd and mkswap commands. After the swap space has been added, it updates /etc/fstab to make the swap permanent.

Download & Install

pip install add-swap-space

Note: If pip is unrecognized try pip3 instead.

Usage

sudo python3 -m add_swap_space

Note: Make sure you have pip install under root user as updating /etc/fstab requires root permission.
