Installation

From Packages

Sway is not supported by many distributions yet. Here's a list of packages available for you to install:

For other distros, see this wiki page. 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

Install dependencies:

  • cmake
  • wlc
  • wayland
  • xwayland
  • asciidoc
  • pcre
  • json-c
  • pango *
  • cairo *
  • gdk-pixbuf2 *
  • pam **
  • imagemagick (required for image capture with swaygrab)
  • ffmpeg (required for video capture with swaygrab)

*Only required for swaybar, swaybg, and swaylock

**Only required for swaylock

Run these commands:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_SYSCONFDIR=/etc ..
make
sudo make install

On systems without logind, you need to suid the sway binary:

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

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

Instead of running startx, run sway. You can run sway from within X as well, which is useful for testing.
