Hello,
I am currently having issues with the last step of discourse installation. I got this reply from my from ssh client while trying to enter " ./discourse-setup"
Please what should I do?
From the output you provided it would appear that you have a 1 GB swap file, not a 2 GB one as required by Discourse. I’d suggest disabling the existing swap file by running
swapoff /swapfile
then running
./discourse-setup
again so it can create the 2 GB file. Did you previously set up a 1 GB swap file?

Yes I did set up a 1GB swap file because it was part of the instructions in vultr instruction documentation

I have turned off swap file but am still getting an “insufficient swap space” message.

I suggest resetting your VPS with a clean Ubuntu Server 16.04 install and starting over from scratch.

The easiest thing would be to use digital ocean.
You could try to create a 2gb swap file yourself. If you do that and are still having trouble, include the output from
free -h
