I'm trying to add more memory (RAM) on my Ubuntu Desktop 24.04, as my memory is running low for my Django project.
I'm also implementing Elasticsearch. I plugged in an empty 8GB USB drive to swap out the memory for this flash drive.
But I keep getting an error in my local terminal. Here is the error message I get

sudo swapoff -a' & 'sudo swapon are the commands I wrote for the partition. I guess I'm trying to mount the USB drive.
Please I need help
