## 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/SirCmpwn/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=eip /usr/local/bin/sway
sudo setcap cap_sys_tty_config=eip /usr/local/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.
My own dotfiles are available [here](https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/dotfiles) if
you want some inspiration, and definitely check out the
[wiki](https://github.com/SirCmpwn/sway/wiki) as well.
## Running
Instead of running `startx`, run `sway`. You can run `sway` from within X as
well, which is useful for testing.
