Rpi Swap

18 Jul 2023

I had trouble pip installing matplotlib due to running out of memory on a 1 gigabyte RAM raspberry pi. The solution was to increase the swap.

Change the CONF_SWAP=100 to CONF_SWAP=2048 by editing /etc/dphys-swapfile.

Run sudo /etc/init.d/dphys-swapfile restart to restart swap with new size.
