## Arch Linux
### Arch Linux (easiest)
The Arch User Repository (AUR) has the convenient `sway-git` and `wlroots-git` package bundles, which contain everything you'll need to compile their respective projects. Use your preferred AUR helper to install these.

# Compiling as a subproject
To run Sway, you don't need to install it. You can build it and start it directly. Using a subproject will allow you to easily work and wlroots and Sway at the same time.
```sh
# Clone repositories
git clone git@github.com:swaywm/sway.git
cd sway
mkdir subprojects
git clone git@github.com:swaywm/wlroots.git subprojects/wlroots
# Build Sway and wlroots
meson build/
ninja -C build/
# Start Sway
build/sway/sway
```
To enable the address sanitizer (ASan) and the undefined behavior sanitizer (UBSan), add `-Db_sanitize=address,undefined` to the `meson` command.
# System-wide installation
This section is relevant if you want to install both wlroots and Sway system-wide (without using a subproject).
