I tried to install zRam using the following commands in the terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:shnatsel/zram
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install zramswap-enabler

But it throws the following error message which says that the package is not available:

E: Couldn't find package zramswap-enabler

I tried to download and install the zramswap-enabler_0.2.1-0~12~oneiric1_all.deb package, but after the second reboot it stops working.

To install zRAM, just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command(s) below:

sudo apt-get install zram-config

Once the installation is done go ahead and reboot your machine.

To check whether it works:

cat /proc/swaps

You can download it here.

And to install 

sudo dpkg -i zram-config_0.5_all.deb

Or use Gdebi

zramswap-enabler hasn't been released for 13.04 yet. Unless you can make an updated version yourself, you'll have to wait for Shnatsel to release one (this is according to https://launchpad.net/~shnatsel/+archive/zram, which only lists packages up to Quantal).
