## Rationale
|

I use i3 on xorg. Wayland is coming, and [i3way](http://i3way.org/) still has

## Installation
|
||||
|
||||
### Arch Linux
|
||||
### From Packages
|
||||
|
||||
Install [aur/sway-git](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sway-git/).
|
||||
sway is not supported by many distributions yet. Here's a list of packages
|
||||
available for you to install:
|
||||
|
||||
### Manual
|
||||
* [Arch Linux](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sway-git/).
|
||||
|
||||
Dependencies:
|
||||
### Compiling from Source
|
||||
|
||||
Install dependencies:
|
||||
|
||||
* cmake
|
||||
* [wlc](https://github.com/Cloudef/wlc)
|
||||
* xwayland
|
||||
* asciidoc
|
||||
|
||||
Compiling:
|
||||
Run these commands:
|
||||
|
||||
cmake .
|
||||
make
|
||||
# sudo make install
|
||||
|
||||
Binary shows up in `./bin` (or `/usr/local/bin` if you `make install`).
|
||||
sudo make install
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
mkdir ~/.config/sway
|
||||
cp ~/.config/i3/config ~/.config/sway/
|
||||
|
||||
Or if you don't already use i3:
|
||||
|
||||
mkdir ~/.config/sway
|
||||
cp /etc/sway/config ~/.config/sway/
|
||||
|
||||
Edit to your liking.
|
||||
|
||||
[See also](http://i3wm.org/docs/)
|
||||
If you already use i3, then copy your i3 config to `~/.config/sway/config` and
|
||||
it'll work out of the box. Otherwise, copy `/etc/sway/config` to
|
||||
`~/.config/sway/config`. Run `man 5 sway` for information on the configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
## Running
|
||||
|
||||
Run this from a tty (instead of starting x):
|
||||
|
||||
sway
|
||||
|
||||
If you run this while xorg is running, it'll run inside of an x window (useful
|
||||
for testing). Otherwise, it'll run wayland properly.
|
||||
If you run it from within x, it will spawn x windows instead of using your
|
||||
hardware directly (useful for development).
