sway is an [i3]-compatible [Wayland] compositor. Read the [FAQ]. Join the
[IRC channel] \(#sway on irc.libera.chat).
## Release Signatures
Releases are signed with [E88F5E48] and published [on GitHub][GitHub releases].
## Installation
### From Packages
Sway is available in many distributions. Try installing the "sway" package for
yours.
### Compiling from Source
Check out [this wiki page][Development setup] if you want to build the HEAD of
sway and wlroots for testing or development.
Install dependencies:
* meson \*
* [wlroots]
* wayland
* wayland-protocols \*
* pcre
* json-c
* pango
* cairo
* gdk-pixbuf2 (optional: system tray)
* [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 nor seatd, 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).
