    Yeah swap is recommended

    You can create a 1gb swap file with commands below
    Code (Text):
    dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1024 count=1024k
ls -lah /swapfile
mkswap /swapfile
swapon /swapfile
chown root:root /swapfile
chmod 0600 /swapfile
swapon -s
echo "/swapfile          swap            swap    defaults        0 0" >> /etc/fstab
mount -a
