Read the [FAQ](https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki). Join the [IRC
channel](http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=sway&uio=d4) (#sway on
irc.freenode.net).
If you'd like to support sway development, please contribute to [SirCmpwn's

## Release Signatures
Releases are signed with [B22DA89A](http://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?op=vindex&search=0x52CB6609B22DA89A)
and published [on GitHub](https://github.com/swaywm/sway/releases).
## 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
* wayland-protocols \*
* pcre
* json-c
* pango
* cairo
* gdk-pixbuf2 \*\*
* [scdoc](https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/scdoc) (optional: man pages) \*
* git \*
_\*Compile-time dep_
_\*\*optional: required for swaybg_
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).
