## 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:
* meson
* [wlroots](https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots)
* wayland
* xwayland
* libinput >= 1.6.0
* libcap
* pcre
* json-c >= 0.13

_\*\*Only required for swaylock_

Run these commands:
meson 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).
