== Make Sure System Has Swap Space ==
 +
 +
Issue the command '''swapon -s''' to see if there is swap space.
 +
If there is only a header line, you need to add a swap file like this:
 +
 +
<code>
 +
  df -h          # Be sure there's enough space, decide on swap size
 +
  #  Create a file /swap to use (assuming / is large enough)
 +
  sudo bash      # Run these commands as root
 +
  swap=/swap
 +
  dd if=/dev/zero of=$swap bs=1073741824 count=15    # 15GB swap
 +
  chown root:root $swap
 +
  mkswap $swap
 +
  chmod 0600 $swap
 +
  swapon $swap
 +
  echo "$swap  none swap sw  0  0" >> /etc/fstab
 +
 +
  swapon -s      # Should show the swap device
 
</code>
