## Installation ## Installation
### Arch Linux ### From Packages
Install [aur/sway-git](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sway-git/). sway is not supported by many distributions yet. Here's a list of packages
available for you to install:
### Manual * [Arch Linux](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sway-git/).
Dependencies: ### Compiling from Source
Install dependencies:
* cmake * cmake
* [wlc](https://github.com/Cloudef/wlc) * [wlc](https://github.com/Cloudef/wlc)
* xwayland * xwayland
* asciidoc * asciidoc
Compiling: Run these commands:
cmake . cmake .
make make
# sudo make install sudo make install
Binary shows up in `./bin` (or `/usr/local/bin` if you `make install`).
## Configuration ## Configuration
mkdir ~/.config/sway If you already use i3, then copy your i3 config to `~/.config/sway/config` and
cp ~/.config/i3/config ~/.config/sway/ it'll work out of the box. Otherwise, copy `/etc/sway/config` to
`~/.config/sway/config`. Run `man 5 sway` for information on the configuration.
Or if you don't already use i3:
mkdir ~/.config/sway
cp /etc/sway/config ~/.config/sway/
Edit to your liking.

## Running ## Running
Run this from a tty (instead of starting x):
sway sway
If you run this while xorg is running, it'll run inside of an x window (useful If you run it from within x, it will spawn x windows instead of using your
for testing). Otherwise, it'll run wayland properly. hardware directly (useful for development).
