|
|
|
|
2015-12-13 22:40:14 +01:00

|
sudo chmod a+s /usr/local/bin/sway

|
|
|
|
2018-08-08 17:40:33 +02:00

Sway will drop root permissions shortly after startup.

## Configuration
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-08-18 22:16:13 +02:00
|
|
|
If you already use i3, then copy your i3 config to `~/.config/sway/config` and
|
2015-12-01 00:38:23 +01:00
|
|
|
it'll work out of the box. Otherwise, copy the sample configuration file to
|
2015-12-23 12:22:48 +01:00
|
|
|
`~/.config/sway/config`. It is usually located at `/etc/sway/config`.
|
|
|
|
|
Run `man 5 sway` for information on the configuration.
|
2015-08-09 01:39:55 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Running
|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-08-13 20:01:55 +02:00
|
|
|
Run `sway` from a TTY. Some display managers may work but are not supported by
|
2018-04-13 02:22:27 +02:00
|
|
|
sway (gdm is known to work fairly well).
