## Installation
### From Packages
Sway is available in many distributions. Try installing the "sway" package for
yours.
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
Check out [this wiki page](https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki/Development-Setup) if you want to build the HEAD of sway and wlroots for testing or development.
Install dependencies:
* meson \*
* [wlroots](https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots)
* wayland
* wayland-protocols \*
* pcre
* json-c
* pango
* cairo
* gdk-pixbuf2 (optional: system tray)
* [scdoc](https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/scdoc) (optional: man pages) \*
* git (optional: version info) \*
_\*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).
