## Rationale
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I use i3 on xorg. Wayland is coming, and [i3way](http://i3way.org/) still has

## Installation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Arch Linux
|
|
|
|
|
### From Packages
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sway is not supported by many distributions yet. Here's a list of packages
|
|
|
|
|
available for you to install:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Install [aur/sway-git](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sway-git/).
|
|
|
|
|
* [Arch Linux](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sway-git/).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Manual
|
|
|
|
|
### Compiling from Source
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dependencies:
|
|
|
|
|
Install dependencies:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* cmake
|
|
|
|
|
* [wlc](https://github.com/Cloudef/wlc)
|
|
|
|
|
* xwayland
|
|
|
|
|
* asciidoc
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Compiling:
|
|
|
|
|
Run these commands:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cmake .
|
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
|
# sudo make install
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Binary shows up in `./bin` (or `/usr/local/bin` if you `make install`).
|
|
|
|
|
sudo make install
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mkdir ~/.config/sway
|
|
|
|
|
cp ~/.config/i3/config ~/.config/sway/
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Or if you don't already use i3:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mkdir ~/.config/sway
|
|
|
|
|
cp /etc/sway/config ~/.config/sway/
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Edit to your liking.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[See also](http://i3wm.org/docs/)
|
|
|
|
|
If you already use i3, then copy your i3 config to `~/.config/sway/config` and
|
|
|
|
|
it'll work out of the box. Otherwise, copy `/etc/sway/config` to
|
|
|
|
|
`~/.config/sway/config`. Run `man 5 sway` for information on the configuration.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Running
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Run this from a tty (instead of starting x):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sway
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you run this while xorg is running, it'll run inside of an x window (useful
|
|
|
|
|
for testing). Otherwise, it'll run wayland properly.
|
|
|
|
|
If you run it from within x, it will spawn x windows instead of using your
|
|
|
|
|
hardware directly (useful for development).
