DigitalOcean has a good guide that should work on most distros:

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-add-swap-space-on-ubuntu-18-04

TL;DR:

sudo fallocate -l 1G /swapfile
sudo chmod 600 /swapfile
sudo mkswap /swapfile
sudo swapon /swapfile
echo '/swapfile none swap sw 0 0' | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
