## Configuration
2015-08-18 20:16:13 +00:00
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.
2015-08-08 23:39:55 +00:00
## Running
Run `sway` from a TTY. Some display managers may work but are not supported by
2018-04-13 00:22:27 +00:00
sway (gdm is known to work fairly well).
