Ronan Pigott f645f8efd6 Fix lingering workspace with scratchpad show Showing a window in the scratchpad can move a visible scratchpad window from another workspace to the current one. If the scratchpad window was the last visible container in that workspace, the old workspace should be destroyed.		2019-12-12 06:51:13 -05:00

Installation

From Packages

Sway is available in many distributions. Try installing the "sway" package for yours. If it's not available, check out this wiki page for information on installation for your distributions.

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:

meson *
wlroots
wayland
wayland-protocols *
pcre
json-c
pango
cairo
gdk-pixbuf2 (optional: system tray)
scdoc (optional: man pages) *
git *

*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).
