## Installation
|
|
|
|
### From Packages
|
|
|
|
Sway is available in many distributions. Try installing the "sway" package for
|
|
yours.
|
|
|
|
If you're interested in packaging sway for your distribution, stop by the IRC
|
|
channel or shoot an email to sir@cmpwn.com for advice.
|
|
|
|
### Compiling from Source
|
|
|
|
Check out [this wiki page][Development setup] if you want to build the HEAD of
|
|
sway and wlroots for testing or development.
|
|
|
|
Install dependencies:
|
|
|
|
* meson \*
|
|
* [wlroots]
|
|
* wayland
|
|
* wayland-protocols \*
|
|
* pcre
|
|
* json-c
|
|
* pango
|
|
* cairo
|
|
* gdk-pixbuf2 (optional: system tray)
|
|
* [scdoc] (optional: man pages) \*
|
|
* git (optional: version info) \*
|
|
|
|
_\*Compile-time dep_
|
|
|
|
Run these commands:
|
|
|
|
meson build/
|
|
ninja -C build/
|
|
sudo ninja -C build/ install
|
|
|
|
On systems without logind, you need to suid the sway binary:
|
|
|
|
sudo chmod a+s /usr/local/bin/sway
|
|
|
|
Sway will drop root permissions shortly after startup.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
If you already use i3, then copy your i3 config to `~/.config/sway/config` and
|
|
it'll work out of the box. Otherwise, copy the sample configuration file to
|
|
`~/.config/sway/config`. It is usually located at `/etc/sway/config`.
|
|
Run `man 5 sway` for information on the configuration.
|
|
|
|
## Running
|
|
|
|
Run `sway` from a TTY. Some display managers may work but are not supported by
|
|
sway (gdm is known to work fairly well).
