## 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](https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki/Unsupported-packages)
|
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* cmake
|
|
|
|
|
* [wlc](https://github.com/Cloudef/wlc)
|
|
|
|
|
* wayland
|
|
|
|
|
* xwayland
|
|
|
|
|
* libinput >= 1.6.0
|
|
|
|
|
* libcap
|
|
|
|
|
* 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 with logind, you need to set a few caps on the binary:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sudo setcap "cap_sys_ptrace,cap_sys_tty_config=eip" /usr/bin/sway
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Run `sway` from a TTY. Some display managers may work but are not supported by
|
|
|
|
|
Sway (gdm is known to work fairly well).
